The Margin Between A Winning And A Losing Career- Your CV
Winners are remembered- second place has been described as first loser. Perhaps a little harsh but nevertheless has a ring of truth about it. A single point or goal is very often all that separates the winners in life and those who come in second place
When you are thinking about your chances with a new job opportunity, the margins are still small. If your CV fails to impress, however, and you are not invited to an interview, the rewards for excellence are the difference between having a chance to shine at the main event or not even being invited to the party
The main difference between a job selection process and a sporting event is that most of us will never get to compete at sport at the professional level. Of course you wont get to be considered for a position that demands a qualification that you dont hold. You owe it to yourself though to give yourself the best possible chance of career success by getting your CV just right
Given that you generally have only a very short time to make a favourable first impression with your CV, you should be hypercritical about it. Get your most critical friend to check it over and be absolutely ruthless in re-writing anything that is wrong. You really do owe it to yourself. Unlike professional athletes, you have almost unlimited time to get this right. Make sure that you do
We live in the world of the computer and whilst the invention of the spell checker is indeed a wonderful thing, over reliance on its capabilities can be fatal to your job chances. Make 100% certain to check every spelling, context, grammar and tone of language. This cannot be done by machine- you have to do this in person
Several companies offer you the opportunity to have your CV checked free of charge. There is no obligation on you if you go ahead and get that done. Help yourself into a winning position by getting a professional CV writing service to give it the once over. You have nothing to lose but absolutely everything to gain
