Tell me more

• • Does your heart sink at the prospect of putting a resume together, especially when you really want that job

• • Does it feel like your CV keeps disappearing down a ‘black hole’ when you make applications?

• • Do you find it hard to identify the skills and strengths you have to offer?

• • Would you like to have a straightforward, step-by-step guide that will help you to create a great CV?

If the answer to these is Yes, then The CV & Resume Workbook is just what you need.

Did you know that most recruiters spend less than 30 seconds looking at the CVs they receive?

That means you have less than 30 seconds to make the right impact and ensure that your resume goes on the ‘yes’ pile.

It’s quite a challenge. Would your current resume pass that impact test?

Don’t worry, help is at hand.

My CV & Resume Workbook is designed to help you craft a CV that will have exactly the kind of impact you want.

Take this opportunity to transform your CV or resume into a promotional tool that will really hit the spot with employers.

‘After all my years spent in Executive Search I have never seen anything this good. Writing your own CV is tough. Sure we can all say which companies we have worked for but have you stopped to consider that your CV/Resume will portray many more things – sadly things you may with hindsight wish had remained hidden.If you take this workbook seriously you will not only get a potential employer to ‘look twice’ at you, there’s a very good chance you will have realised just how much you have done and what extraordinary skills you have to offer. You will come away feeling more positive and confident that you can get the job you want. Cherry’s workbook provides a thorough framework along with detailed mapping of the much shredded item, the CV/Resume. Commit yourself to the process she offers with vigour, they don’t come this good very often!’ Susie Lomax

I’ve been there, done it…

As you will know if you have been browsing round the How To Change Careers website, I have worked in the careers field for nearly 25 years now.

In that time I have seen hundreds of CVs and resumes good and bad and have helped my clients to transform how they present themselves at that crucial first stage of the application process.

Not only have I worked with clients who are preparing CVs and resumes, but I have also been on the ‘other side’ as a recruiter and have had the unenviable task of sifting through dozens of resumes, trying to make fair selection decisions.

It can be really hard trying to work out what the candidates are really like and there have been many occasions when I wished I could just have half an hour with some of them to help them present themselves more effectively.

But when you are recruiting, you can only go with what the applicant puts in front of you.

You can’t decide who to interview on a hunch – the decision has to be made fairly on the actual evidence you have been given.

And that means many CVs are rejected because they fail to have immediate impact and don’t give the recruiter what they are looking for.

‘I was seriously impressed by this workbook! Right from the start I felt confident that I was being guided through a structured process by someone who really knows her stuff. I particularly love the way it combines expert advice with a strong coaching element through all 12 steps, so that you end up with a CV which is not only professional but also a unique reflection of who you are and what you have to offer.’ Karen Knott – Midlife Matters www.midlifematters.co.uk

‘This is an excellent book which covers every aspect on putting together your CV in detail. Clearly and logically laid out into ‘easy to find’ sections, it carefully goes through each area of the CV or resume, giving you blank sections to complete elements of your own as you work through it. The book delves deep into exactly what details should and should not be included. By breaking each area down into manageable chunks, it makes the whole process seem much less daunting and it will give you the confidence to go out and get the job you want.’ Caroline Aitken, Director, Acorn Communications www.acorncommunications.co.uk
