Skill Overview

These focussed individual sessions will help build skills to write a compelling and focussed CV and cover letter tailored to the target job. With each CV being unique, learning to present skills, experience and background in an interesting yet concise way is what attracts hiring managers who spend 7 seconds on average reviewing each CV they receive. There is one opportunity to impress. Spending time understanding the nuances of how to write a successful CV will pay dividends and remain a lifelong skill.  With over 25 years expertise running career development sessions for professionals at all levels, I have a deep understanding of what recruiters are looking for and an eye for spotting gaps within a CV. These individual sessions will support you to proactively market yourself, building confidence to write a targeted CV which will help you move ahead of your competitors.

Learning Objectives

The aim of the training is to support attendees to be able to research, plan and write a CV which is focussed on each job applied for through a formal application process or speculative approach.

Training includes:
- detailed understanding of the purpose of a CV  
- examples of good and bad CVs with explanation
- preferred CV formats of recruiters
- feedback on existing CV (where applicable)
- discussion on each section of the CV with feedback 
- hints and tips to help the CV stand out from competitors
- a crib sheet of Do's and Dont's to take away
  
Level 1 training offers attendees detailed feedback on an existing CV, email dialogue to gain information on the job role/area of interest and a CV re-write with notes on recommended changes. 
Level 2 offers attendees the opportunity to discuss the CV in 
a follow-up one-hour online session after the initial email dialogue to discuss changes in realtime working through each section of the CV and highlighting key areas and information that attract recruiters. 
Level 3 offers attendees two one-hour online sessions and additionally discusses and draws up an accompanying cover letter with an understanding of its key purpose, how the CV fits in with an overall portfolio and aligning it to social media platforms.

Key takeaways for all attendees will be the need for the CV to be pithy and targeted, relevant to the job role or job area applied for, absence of grammatical errors and clearly laid out with relevant skills and experience front and centre.
