Ask any job hunter what makes them feel good and they’ll all say ‘being offered the job!’ Achieving this step isn’t always that easy. Securing a job is dependent upon the power of your CV.
Most job hunters let themselves down when it comes to CVs. They use woolly words such as ‘involved with’, they list their duties, which anyone can do, and they fail to talk about how they can make a difference to the organisation. In short, they don’t invest in their CV. And if you were the recruiter, what would this tell you about the candidate?
