Though we live in uncertain times, economically speaking, and many job sectors are seeing at worst large numbers of redundancies, and at best pay freezes and changes to pension plans and the like, there are certain sectors that are proving to be extremely robust during this period, bastions of strength for job agencies. These roles are widespread, but the general theme is roles that require a broader skill set, allowing an employer to fill more than one specific role with a candidate; the overarching idea being that certain candidates facilitate the conserving of resources. This is also why certain positions, such as those in procurement, are in such high demand, as companies look to cut costs and manage outgoings.

Your CV helps to introduce you to your employer. All it takes to bridge the gap between a good job and bad one or unemployment, is a carefully documented CV. It gives you the much needed edge over your competitors.
The importance of CV:
- Your CV helps to create a positive impression about you. It gives a clear indication about how suitable you are for the available position.
- Your CV helps to put yourself ahead of others in the race.
- The CV helps to focus specifically on the application in hand.
How to write a good CV:
Employment agencies always emphasize to redraw your CV for each available opportunity. The style and information to be included or excluded must be changed for every new job opportunity. However all CV’s must be written in the following ways.
Planning – Present yourself in a clear and precise manner. Reflect on your professional qualities that would be best recognised and appreciated.
Keep it precise– Never clutter your CV with irrelevant information. Keep key skills and recent experience at the beginning. Profile, achievements, experience, other skills hobbies should not take precedence over skills and past experience.
Avoid boasting – Get to the point and convey the information in a precise and forceful manner. Avoid blowing your own trumpet.
Use Headers and Bullets – Use powerful headers and support them with evidence. Use bullets to highlight your significant achievements. Avoid using flowery language. The language must be simple but persuasive.
Unless you have an effective CV, recruitment agencies cannot help you bag a job.
