How to create a winning CV
Ensure that your career search is in good hands by selecting a recruitment agency that will tailor-make your CV, highlight your strengths, and communicate what sets you apart from the rest. A professional recruiter should understand what a prospective employer is looking for and promote your skills to match the job requirements.
At our agency, we tailor-make CVs that are then sent directly to clients when we submit your application. This ensures that we maintain the highest standard of presentation and professionalism when submitting your profile.
To assist the recruitment process, it is essential that you compile an accurate and concise CV that clearly presents your skills, experience, and achievements. This will help agencies gather all the necessary information, allowing them to see exactly what you have to offer. A well-crafted CV enables your recruiter to effectively showcase your strengths and match you to the best opportunities available.
Make sure your recruiter is well-informed about your core competencies and achievements. This will allow them to highlight these in a covering letter specifically crafted for each position they refer you for, ensuring your profile is positioned in the best possible light for every opportunity.
Job Search Strategy
Know what you want
When you decide looking for a job it is important that you identify your ideal job and what you need to do to land that job. When you deal with a premier recruitment agency, they will advise you on career paths, which companies are best suited to you and what the company stands for.
Don’t apply to too many agencies
Don’t fall into the trap of applying to too many recruitment agencies. Rather pick a selected few once you have met with a recruiter from them face-to-face and let them represent you. A prospective employee is not going to feel that you are the unique person they have been waiting for when 10 agencies submits your CV.
Prepare for each interview
Even if you are not successful, your interview is the opportunity to leave a lasting impression. Make sure it is a good one and that you turn every meeting into a positive interaction. Research the company and the person you will be meeting with.
Give your recruiter feedback
Tell them what you thought of the interview process and what interested you. This will make it easier for them to know what to look for.
Remember your online profiles
Many people neglect their LinkedIn profiles and post horrendous things to Facebook. Remember that prospective employers are likely to try and have a look on your profiles to see what you’re about. You are your own PR! Just as you will make sure you present yourself in a professional way face-to-face, you must ensure that you match that profile online.
