Getting Started

What Type of Career are you looking for?

• Direct Sales?

• Engineer?

• Professional Services?

Tailor your CV to showcase the skills that make you

a great candidate for the role. Recruiters want to

see relevant CVs!

Get Noticed

Time and Money

• Recruitment can take a long time

• Some companies only skim CVs

Time and Money are in short supply! This means

that a Recruiter may only get to look at your CV for

a few seconds.

Make sure that it stands out!

So What?

Always highlight your value – don’t lead the Recruiter
