Securing that job
is a reflection of your success!
Find Out Who You Will Work For!
Today, most job seekers search for work online, which offers many opportunities but can also be frustrating. The key to job-hunting success lies with you. Your CV is your calling card; it should reflect your identity so hiring managers immediately recognise it. Here are some essential tips:
1. Length: Your CV should match your experience. Most people should stick to one page, as hiring managers don’t have time for lengthy histories.
2. Content: After your name and contact information, include a boxed paragraph summarising your skills and why you're suited for the job. Tailor your CV for each application.
3. Achievements: List your accomplishments first, followed by your education and qualifications. Be prepared to provide more information during the interview if needed.
4. Get in Touch: If you believe you can do the job, find out who will hire you and reach out. Ask for a meeting to explain why they should consider you. Opportunities often arise from these face-to-face interactions.
5. Research: Learn about the organisation before your interview. Demonstrating knowledge about the company impresses employers and shows your interest.
6. Be Prompt: Arrive early for your interview to show punctuality.
Good luck!
PS Your CV must impress within 30 seconds, so remember that the start will determine the level of interest!
