Creating a Successful CV
Is your CV getting you on the interview YES pile?
SMP have an enviable success record supporting our clients to achieve a new job at the next level or for a complete change of career. We will work with you, either by telephone and email or face to face, to ensure that your CV really reflects you as a person and sells you in the best possible light to get you on the interview YES pile!
We can help you with anything from a simple critique of your CV, editing to create more impact, a total re-write or starting from scratch if you have never had a CV or lost it in the ether!
Some key considerations ……
What is the purpose of a CV?
Simple question but amazing how many people forget the answer i.e…… to get you to an interview!
How long have you got to create the right impact?
A trained eye will take around 20 seconds to scan your CV. You must make an immediate impact, as people may not read past the first half page if it doesn't hit the mark straight away!
Does your current CV create impact and is it getting you to interviews?
A CV writing face to face coaching session will take around 2 hours and we will help you uncover and achieve the following:
- Identify your target market
- Establish your true marketability
- Bring your CV to life through a strong profile
- Identify your key skills, unique selling points and relevant achievements
- Add value to get you on the interview YES pile
If we work with you remotely by telphone and email then it should take around the same time but we can do the CV in stages as will need to come back to you with questions to get the answers to create a powerful CV.
If your CV is missing the mark and you are not getting invited to interviews then don't delay contact us now to create the winning CV to help you move your career forward!
Also, check out our Breakthrough Career Development Programme. It possible that your CV is not the most important consideration at this stage and that you will gain much more benefit from a customised career development programme to really help you explore what is important to you in a job or career and your true marketability.
By taking this approach, when you do start working on your CV it will be much more focused and targeted and will have a significantly greater chance of getting you on the interview YES pile!
