I’ve been working at Grad Central for just over a month now, I remember before I started that my CV was pretty bad. I read some of the tips on the GC website that were pretty useful, but it was when I actually sat down with an Account Manager and Candidate Resourcer here at Grad Central to ask them what tips were available to me I realised how important it is to get a CV near perfect. It’s really not that difficult.
My understanding, like most people is that CV writing is subjective, you have to consider who is reading it and what type of industry it is going into. One tip I mentioned in an earlier blog was make sure you really know what you want to start a career in. If you’re not sure, do some research; easier still, call one of the consultants, they speak to candidates all the time, I’m positive they will help.
So CV’s are subjective, make sure you tailor your CV to the type of job you want to do, if you’re finding you’re making drastic changes to your CV for each vacancy you apply for, this means you’re scattering your CV and might end up in a job you really don’t wish to be in….which can only lead to one thing….that Monday morning syndrome.
If you have any further comments or wish to share your experiences, it would be great to hear them.
