When writing your CV, try to avoid just listing your role and responsibilities. Too many CV's read just like a job spec for your position, rather than focussing on the IMPACT you had. You're in sales? Cool. What did you sell, who did you sell it to and how much of it did you sell? How did you do it? What impact did it have on the business? A CV is a great chance not just to describe your position but to showcase the successes you had. It can be tough out there for those seeking new positions just now, but some subtle changes to your CV could make a big difference in getting that initial foot in the door....

"𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲" Unless you are flying with Ryanair, who delayed my flight home from Spain by 2 hours 55 mins at the weekend, safe in the knowledge that after 3 hours I can claim compensation! However this quote, attributed to the American Philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson, can be applied to your hiring processes.... Your "destination" is your end result - the very best person for your vacancy. But the "journey" you go on to get there - your recruitment process - is likely to dictate just how perfect a destination it is for you. If you focus on the perfect process, you can end up with the perfect person. So what should this look like? 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐆 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐨𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬.
