The first thing a future potential employer/recruiter gets to see about us. So it’s got to be good right? Or at least selling you in the best way. Can we all say that?
I think it’s safe to say in the recruitment game we have seen our fair share of outstanding CV’s and poor quality CV’s but sometimes from great candidates.
I have always been a firm believer in having a certain format of CV not necessarily a new CV for every job but a certain format of CV that matches our requirements.
Different CV formats enable us to supply the same information but in a targeted way. They might seem small but when employers or recruiters have hundreds to go through they really do make a difference to make your CV stand out from the crowd.
So why would be use different CV formats?
- Get across career aims- Why are you moving on?
- Target a specific role
- Attention to your strengths
Types of CV
- Performance CV
- Functional CV
- Targeted CV
- Student/Graduate CV
- Alternative CV
I will over the next few weeks go through the Pros and Cons of using different CV’s! First up is the 'Performance CV' so keep an eye on the blog for more articles.
