Personal Marketing
Your CV is your marketing brochure and it is important it presents you in the best way possible.
To be effective it should:
The recipient of your CV will probably "skim read" within 30 seconds. It must be interesting, relevant and easy to read or else it will fail to get you an interview.
Nobody can write your CV for you. It must be done by you to be truly effective. A CareerSuccess coach will work through each aspect with you in great detail, guide you to ensure you have a powerful marketing tool, achievement based and highlighting your strengths and how you will contribute to your potential employer's business.
Like a good sales brochure, your CV should always be accompanied by a professionally written Cover Letter.
To be effective it should:
- Have a good structure and layout.
- Be achievement based, persuasive and highlight your strengths.
- Be targeted and relevant to the job you are seeking.
- Be accurate in all aspects, yet avoiding unnecessary detail.
