Welcome!
It’s always hard to pick a topic with which to kick off a new blog. But, given that this blog is brought to you by The CV Centre, I thought I’d start by saying a brief word in response to a key question - a question which was put to me in a radio interview just this morning: Why is it so important to get your CV right?
My answer’s short but sweet: You have to see things from the recruiters’ or prospective employers’ point of view. They’re often faced with a pile of many hundreds of CVs to review – for just one vacancy. And almost a third of recruiters admit to only reading a CV for a minute or so before deciding whether to interview the candidate. In fact, many admit to spending even less time! Twenty to 30 seconds is quite common. So it’s vital to make your CV stand right out from the competition. Get your CV right and you’ll get your foot in the door for an interview. Get it wrong and you’ll end up in the ‘no thank you’ pile – also known as the bin!

I look forward to speaking with you again soon.
Kind regards,
