CV & Resume Presentation

Andy Warhol said that everybody gets their 15 minutes of fame!

Your CV or Resume is the ideal opportunity for you to be in the spotlight, but in reality, most candidates are fortunate if they are given all of 5 minutes by CV/Resume screeners. Recruiters, on average, spend less than 2 minutes reading a CV/Resume. They won't admit this publicly, but it is not unusual for a recruiter to send a CV/Resume straight to the waste paper basket with nothing more than a quick, casual glance.

In today's sophisticated job market it is more important than ever before to be supported with an outstanding CV/Resume...a document that clearly and professionally tells your "story". Your primary intent is to make the most of that tiny window of opportunity to promote yourself to the recruiter. Your CV/Resume MUST sell you! And...you must maintain the highest level of integrity by presenting yourself on your CV/Resume as accurately and honestly as your relevant skills and competencies will allow.
