Policies

Send your information to us using the form below and we will call you back ASAP with a fair quote.

To meet your CV target you need to know where you are going and which position and/or company you would like to work for. Draw up a work-plan and look at where you want to be not only today, but perhaps in 5 years time. Being fulfilled in your job will make it easier to stay motivated and may give you a good stepping stone towards your ultimate job goal. Think about what really makes you happy at work. Perhaps you enjoy working with people, achieving targets, or perhaps you want to gain recognition in your own work field. Choosing the right career at the very beginning of your working life will make a difference to where you are in a few years time. So take time and sit down and think about where you want to go.

Job Opportunities

Where to look depends on the position you are looking for. Vacancies may be advertised in all manner of places, the internet and other media.

Local shops, the Post Office and the Library may be places you have not yet thought of. Positions which need to be filled quickly may occasionally be found in any of these places before they are advertised in the local press. Your local job centre and advertising pages in local and/or national press may also hold a host of opportunities. Speak to people too, relations, friends, acquaintances. Many positions are filled before they are ever advertised by someone who knows someone. Having your CV ready and up-to-date when a job opportunity arises may well help you jump the queue. Getting your CV in on time will give the recruiter the impression of a well organised individual who is ready to move forward.

Punctuation and Spelling

Be positive, be clear and above all ensure your curriculum vitae is free from spelling errors. Just one mistake can reduce your chances of an interview of between 35 and 48%. If you are managing your CV yourself, check and re-check the spelling. Better still have someone you know has this skill - check it for you.

Sending Curriculum Vitaes

by E-Mail

Recruiters in specific areas may prefer you to send your Curriculum Vitae by Electronic Mail. If you are doing so there are several things to take into consideration. Sending out a CV which has been cut and paste into an email will not suffice. The formatting will without doubt be lost. Whilst compatible software was an issue several years ago, free adobe downloads ensure *pdf files are readable by most computers. Alternatively phone the company you are applying to and ask them what format they would prefer. Companies have been known to accept CVs in word, works, PowerPoint, adobe *pdf, etc, please check. Please note if you already have a CV in *pdf format we can edit this for you.

If you use a computer regularly use the spell and grammar check button; if you do not use a dictionary some handy calculators now have spell check and thesaurus abilities. Get into the habit of checking your spelling. Words that sound the same may not necessarily have the same meaning or spelling, check and re-check. For example “I can hear what is going on”. “Come over here and see this”. There/there/they’re are also all pronounced the same but each has a separate meaning. Be aware too that American spelling is quite different to ours, ensure you are using the correct dictionary on your computer. If you are dealing with a foreign company then try and use their spelling. e.g. British spell colour with a u whilst American dictionaries leave the u out, color.
