CV Solutions

Convincing narrative is an integral component of a CV, encouraging the recruiter to read on and find out more. This model applies across all skill levels and for any job function – the point is to present your details in an interesting, well-articulated format with which you are comfortable and confident.

Traditionally, CVs tend to be chronological in design with key skills and achievements highlighted throughout. This enables the reader to trace your career path in a logical order, identifying strengths and relevant detail along the way. Subjective statements should always be substantiated with specific examples. There is little point in describing yourself as a ‘leader’ if you have never organised or taken responsibility for a particular project where leadership skills would clearly be required.

Our service is likely to appeal, though is not limited, to three particular groups:

Professional

This group will inevitably have substantial experience at a key management or director level. Presenting their details in a succinct, concise manner can be challenging due to the diverse range of skills they bring to the table. Our approach is to identify key strengths around which to build a profile, demonstrate management style, methodologies employed and depth of business acumen. Likely to possess recognised, professional status and a strong sense of direction; demonstrable goals already achieved.

Accelerated

At a mid point in their career individuals from this group are looking for further progress or perhaps to change career path completely. Identifying clear goals is a priority and demonstrating steps already undertaken to achieving such targets is essential. Qualification levels may vary, perhaps with some form of extra-curricular study undertaken to enhance their CV.

Elementary
Limited experience due to varying factors such as age, academic or vocational path. In most cases or if you have recently left education, there are initiatives available to help usually at no cost. UK based candidates can visit www.careerswales.com, www.connexions.gov.uk (England) or www.careers-scotland.org.uk for further details. If you still wish to utilise our service having explored non-fee based options we will be pleased to help you.
