You may think that your CV is the best, but unless you’re landing interviews left, right and centre – it’s probably not!
I’ve seen hundreds and hundreds of CVs in the past and some of you (well most you), can talk a good game but the sad fact is that’s all it does – talk a good game.
Not everybody likes my honesty but wouldn’t you rather that I just told you the simple truth rather than let you carry on using that CV and for it to continue NOT to get the results you want?
Don’t shoot the messenger but most of you just sound like a Thesaurus, yes you’ve managed to squeeze some juicy adjectives into your CV and probably as many as you can into one paragraph – am I right? I know I’m harsh but it really just doesn’t work using big words unless you can back them up with evidence and statistics!
Go and check your CV this second, have you done this?
No proof, no statements to back up that you’ve actually got these skills and can show where and how you have put them into practice and what difference that made to the company and their results. If you can’t do that – you’re just blowing random words into the wind and it’s just a waste of time and space.
Take a look at CV/Resume below it sounds good but seriously anyway can add generic statements and fluffy adjectives!!!
BORING your doing exactly what EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING!
It’s average at best!
