Is Your CV Up to Scratch?

Take a look at your CV. Is all as it should be? Think about the following criteria:

Is the CV well presented?

Does it read well?

Is it grammatically correct?

Have you performed a spell check?

Does your CV have a lot of text or simple bullet points?

Your CV should be easy to read and attractive to look at. Simplify your CV and ensure that you cut out any ‘useless’ jobs. You want to look the epitome of professional. You do not want to be the person who harks back to their glory days of giving out oranges during basketball practice.

Recruitment Agencies

One of the best ways you can put your CV out there is to make sure it is in the right hands. Job hunting can be tough, but if you sign up to a number of recruitment agencies, you will find that your CV is in the public domain. This is a sure fire way of getting work. Recruitment agencies hear of job vacancies before anyone else. This means that your CV will be placed in front of the right people. Do not underestimate the power of the recruitment gurus. They are the key to your employment success. A resource employment job search agency will be able to help you find employment.

Do bear in mind that some agencies are often more specialist than others. They may only focus on one particular industry. For example, those looking for office and administration work should not seek the services of a driving agency. It is commonsensical but make sure that you research the recruitment company before you contact them. A blanket email to everyone is not professional. People want to know that you are putting in a great deal of effort into finding a job. If you send a blanket email, your email may be considered as spam. Let your common sense prevail and remain professional. You should treat a recruitment agency like a prospective employer. Remember, if they don’t like you, they don’t have to put you on their books.

Do Not Dismiss Any Job

While you are unemployed, you are not in a position to be choosy about what you do. If a job comes along that you do not like the look of, see what company it is for. The company may be somewhat corporate with a clear progression route. If this is the case, take the opportunity. There will be room for growth. The company is as important at the role. Do not view them as separate entities.
