Another CV Thread

[Rusty_]

Hi all,

In addition to the many threads where this has been asked, would anyone here be kind enough to have a skim over my CV and give me their thoughts?

I'd be very grateful.

It took quite a while, but I finally whipped my CV together. I've used all the usual tips, but I can't help but feel that's it's still a bit naff..

Cheers!

Delighted to review and share some feedback. Just pass across and to help with context, please share the sort of role you’ll be applying for and what salary band.

Key is ensuring it’s an outcomes based CV rather than a responsiblities based one; hirers are interested in what impact you’ve made rather than what your responsibilities were.

Brilliant, thank you very much! I will do that.

That's really interesting re. The responsibilities Vs outcomes. I hadn't thought of that. What I've written is mostly what my duties and responsibilities are rather than what I can do. I think I might have a quick reword and will DM you.

Thanks again!

I want to know what people have achieved, anything else is likely to distract from what I need to know

I know this thread is a bit old, but now seems like the perfect time to talk about resumes. I’m sure many of you have noticed how hard it is to get contacted back or land an interview after sending your resume, mainly because of ATS.

Resumes are sorted by an algorithm that, personally, I couldn’t get past (I wasn’t getting interviews). Honestly, I hired an expert because the frustration was off the charts. Thankfully, I saw results almost instantly.

For anyone looking for a good resume writing service, this article has useful information to help you find one.
