PARKER CV

Applying blindly through Job Portals will not land you a Job Interview. Maybe you have been doing this for a couple of months or even years without receiving an invitation for a Job Interview or hardly receiving calls from a Recruiter.

MATCHING YOUR CV TO THE JOB SPEC ON THE JOB PORTALS IS CRUCIAL FOR YOUR SUCCESS 

When applying for new roles, tailoring your CV to the position you’re pursuing is essential to progressing within the Recruitment process. Having a CV which is clearly matched to your chosen industry will enable Recruiters to pinpoint exactly why you’re the best fit for the role. Spending time customising your CV for each, and every Job application is key and will dramatically increase your chances of landing an interview.

GET RESEARCHING 

Making your CV custom fit isn’t just limited to your work experience – it’s also vital to research the company that you would like to work for. Take a look through the company’s website and social media channels, adapting your CV to align with their working culture, specialisms and values.

CHANGE THE DETAIL WITHIN YOUR CV FOR EVERY JOB APPLICATION 

Enable Recruiters to pinpoint your relevancy for a Job at a glance by including a core skills section below your profile. Highlight your marketable strengths, especially the key skills that you identified within the Job description. Consider what Recruiters are looking for and remove irrelevant information, such as unrelated qualifications or skills, from the document. These take up valuable space yet add no impact to your CV. You need to be focusing on information which will support Recruiters in their decision-making process. 

FOCUS ON RELEVANCY 

Avoid being too overly detailed about experience or qualifications in irrelevant industries or sectors. If you have extensive experience and education within the industry, look to shorten your descriptions to save space. If a lack of space is a factor, focus on only adding the achievements which most closely match the role you’re applying to. Matching your CV to the Job description might seem like a tedious task, but Recruiters just don’t have time for generic applications. 

PROVE YOUR IMPACT 

Remember to tailor your CV for every role you apply for – by doing so, you’re bound to be called for an interview in no time.
