Curriculum Vitae Development
Market yourself well
A well written and succinct CV is important for both internal and external applications. Our guidance will assist you to:
- Identify key information to be positioned on the front page of your CV. This ensures that it attracts the readers attention and invites them to turn the page to learn more
- Highlight key strengths and how these would benefit the organisation
- Provide focussed achievements that demonstrate ability, experience and motivation
- Identify and include additional relevant information that will support and promote you
- Ensure your CV is written in a succinct and focused manner and is checked thoroughly
- Ensure your CV is appropriately laid out to allow easy reading
Networking and Approaching the Market
Increase your chances of identifying vacancies
When entering the market place, whether by choice or through the effects of job re-structure, a range of key factors are vital to ensure a successful job search. Our guidance will assist you to:
- Understand how the job market operates and know where to tap into opportunities
- Review and refine your work targets
- Complete a marketing plan
- Work effectively with recruiters to target particular organisations and/or positions
- Complete a letter promoting you to accompany your curriculum vitae
- Gain strategies to network in the “hidden” market (networking through referrals)
Interview Strategies
Promote yourself confidently and positively
Both internal and external interviews can be quite daunting. Often people feel very nervous and as a consequence don’t promote themselves as well as they could. Interviews are usually where a prospective employer first meets the candidate and forms their initial impressions of this person. Therefore it is vital to go into the interview well prepared. This means having high self-awareness, a very good knowledge of the organisation gained through extensive research and being convinced of the good match between both. Our guidance will assist you to:
- Understand the importance of preparation and research in demonstrating confidence in the interview
- Understand the importance of first impressions and body language
- Clearly articulate ability, willingness and “fit” to the role
- Understand the best way to answer behavioural and other questions that can sometimes be problematic
- Prepare key questions to ask in the interview that demonstrate interest and suitability for the position
- Handle salary questions
An additional option is available where we video practice interviews to allow you to assess your competence, your body language and your reactions. Experience has shown that people can be very unaware of their idiosyncrasies.
