YOUR CV IS YOUR LOGO AND COMPANY PROFILE OF YOUR PERSONAL BRAND!

Does your CV getting shortlisted when you apply for jobs???

Are you able to market your functional skills, expertise and achievements???

If you are looking for a job, then it is very important that you understand how to offer yourself in the best way to an employer. In order to do so you need a professionally writtent CV (Curriculum Vitae)

Companies receive hundreds of resumes for one job opening. However, only few are short listed for the interview. This short listing is done on the basis of your resume. On an average a CV will receive no more than 30 seconds initial consideration. So you only have 30 seconds to make an impact. To get someone to look at it longer, it must quickly convey your capabilities, competence and 'essence'.

We understand the difference between the scope of the resume of a Through Professional and that of a rookie.

With years of experience behind you, your resume should focus on your strategic capabilities & your business acumen. It should document how your presence had been valuable in driving the organization up the corporate success.

And when it comes to salary negotiations a well-written CV plays an important role. If your CV conveys your full worth you are likely to get a higher salary offer than you might have done with a poorer CV.

If you are applying for immigration, your CV is very crucial. You may have aquired your skills over the years from great institutions and companies however they may not be clearly understood an inadequate CV. This can lead lead to rejection and a halt to your ambitions.

A CV is personal, but not a biography, nor a paragraph, or even a novel, in which you tell the story of your professional life!

So no matter where you are located, allow our professional CV writers to compliment your seniority and vast experience with an equally distinguished resume.

Interview Coach: ‘Tell me about yourself’

 

What appears a harmless ice-breaker is a critical component of your interview. Your answer to “Tell me about yourself” is often the first spoken opportunity (think body language) to create a positive impression...and you know what they say about first impressions.

 

The interviewer often looks relaxed at this point, sitting back, sipping coffee, listening. This can create a false sense of security, almost encouraging you to stray from the point. Beware – a long winded story about your love for art-house films or a shaggy-dog story about how well you service customers may seem interesting to you, but may not hit the spot for your suitor.

An interview is a 2-way process, an interaction. If you talk for too long you are giving a speech, not interacting.

 

Why do interviewers ask this question?

To identify:-

  1. Presentation skills

  2. Influencing skills

  3. Evidence of over achievement

  4. Ability to communicate concisely

  5. Fit for the job

 

How to structure a great answer?

Timing is key, be concise and relevant. Aim for a few sentences and no longer than 2 minutes.

There are 5 key stages to remember when answering:

  1. Find out in advance the key skills required for the job. Structure the first part of your response to match the skills and back up with evidence.

  2. Provide a brief snapshot of your career or background, focussing on the most recent. Pick 2 examples of relevant achievements

  3. What are you looking for? State your aspirations and why the company AND industry is very attractive to you

  4. Add a personal anecdote. Sporty, social, artistic, well travelled? Drop in a soft, friendly ending to a surprisingly serious question.

  5. Finish on a question. An interview is 2-way. Show you are serious about finding out if this is the right opportunity for you, in a polite and enthusiastic way.

When asked “Tell me about yourself”, remember the 5 key stages of a good answer: skills, background, aspirations, personal, question.

 

Good Luck
