Why is this CV writing skills course important?

CVs are valuable and relevant because they are your first and maybe only direct communication with a potential employer. Presentation is key. For this reason alone, it should be carefully thought out, designed and written so that it makes an immediate positive impact on key decision makers. When a reader looks at your resume, they should be able to gain a clear indication of your experiences and potential quickly. Bear in mind that the person reading it will never have met you, so keep it grammatically error free and focused, as it will be seen as a reflection of you as a person.

To summarise your CV is essentially a marketing tool that allows you to sell yourself and your abilities to employers. It should have:

• A positive outlook,
• Clearly, show those strengths and experiences that are most relevant to the job you are applying for, and
• Demonstrate your potential as a future potential employee.
