This event will help you to develop an award-winning CV. The dictionary definition of this is simply “A CV that gets you to interview”. Once at interview, it’s a working document forming a potential agenda for the meeting. So, it’s a critical and dynamic document. Whilst there are different versions of a CV that Julie will mention, at Careers Springboard our main focus has been to concentrate on the reverse chronological format, which has generally been the more popular version that job hunters adopt when they are searching for another position. This version is also well established and recognised in the market place too. Our members will be taken through the good and the not so good of CV creation, which will no doubt show a stark contrast about what helps to sell YOU and what items do not add value. Julie will speak in detail about the content and suggested approach that is recommended for each section, enabling you to perfect your own document and increase your chances of converting more job applications to an interview.
