The importance of a well written professional Curriculum Vitae (CV)

BEING A JOB SEEKER AND THE DIFFICULTIES YOU WILL FACE WHEN SEARCHING FOR EMPLOYMENT:

  • Current unemployment figures means that your CV could be 1 of over a thousand received on an advertised position;
  • Research has shown that as little as 30 seconds is spent on each individual CV during the 1st screening process;
  • You have only 1 chance to impress!

THE EMPLOYER/COMPANY AND THE ADVANTAGE THEY HAVE DURING THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS :

  • Recruiters/employers have thousands of candidates to choose from;
  • Employers can take their time during the hiring process and wait for the "perfect" match;
  • Employers can run as many pre-screening, post interview-screening and verification checks as they deem necessary;
  • Employers can change their mind, the vacancy and or the goal posts when they want and as often as they like.
