You, Your CV And The Current Employment Market

By Glenn HUghes

With unemployment rising across the globe through the effects of this global recession, jobs generally are much scarcer than they were before. One sector that is on the rise though is the public sector. Whilst this is not true in every country, many governments are spending on their infrastructure through large scale construction projects on roads, schools, hospitals, etc. Clearly this is an area that you may wish to target

More competition means that you need to be better. The fittest or best CVs and applications will be the ones that get looked at. There really is no excuse, your CV is a selling document and it needs to do the job of selling you in the best way possible. The first couple of sentences in that CV are so vital that it would be worth your while getting someone to do it for you, even if you ended up doing the rest of the CV yourself

A professional CV writer makes their living by writing CVs that get people job interviews. If they are no good at their job, their business will fail so they have a vested interest in making sure that they do a great job for you. If you had a legal issue, you would be well advised to go to a qualified legal professional, experienced in the area of law in which you had a problem. This is no different from your career. Get advice on your CV from someone who spends their career writing CVs, your interview chances will be much enhanced if you do

If you are applying for a job in the public sector, it is highly likely that you will need to fill in an application form. This may seem like stating the obvious but the first thing that you need to do is to read and then follow the instructions given. If the application form needs to be filled in by hand in black ink then do so. If you don't follow these simple instructions, your application will get rejected. Failure to follow simple instructions shows the reader that you are unable to grasp simple instructions, just do what is being asked of you and you will be fine

Some people know the cost of everything and the value of nothing. The cost or investment in to your life of buying the services of a professional CV writer will be paid back in full many times over through the interview doors that your new CV will open. You have the possibility of earning many times more than your existing salary but first, you need to invest in yourself, particularly in a recession - 31384
