Do people really look at them?
I don’t think putting any effort into them is necessary; they will hire me for who I am.
Does this sound familiar? At some point in our career we all struggle with the need to find a new job. Most of us are eager to search for new jobs by either using a recruiter or doing the search on our own. What we are never eager to do is update our CV!
This is perhaps one of the most important things you can do to help yourself find the job you’re looking for. Any good recruiter will work with you on your CV to ensure that you’re putting your best foot forward.
Every HR person will look at your CV and either qualify you or disqualify you based on what they see on your CV. I personally like using a CV. It’s complete and if done correctly, will highlight what a hiring authority is looking for on the first page. The rest of the information is really there to support you and the job you’re applying to.
Never underestimate the power your CV holds. Keep in mind that in many situations, your CV is your first impression. Making it look professional, clean and neat is just the first step. Don’t add pictures, special fonts or anything else that will detract from it. Remember, all they want to see is your information. You’re not applying for a design job – you’re in health care. Professionalism is key.
In September’s Newsletter, we dive deep into CV/resume polishing and building. This is the first of a six part series which will help guide you through the process of refining your CV.
