Your first CV is often the most difficult to write, because in most cases you haven’t yet built up a formal work history.

 

So often I hear the lament of the student: “But I haven’t done anything!”

 

NONSENSE!

 

You already have many really valuable skills that are of interest to a prospective employer – what you don’t yet realise is how they can be identified and included on your CV.

 

The purpose of this book is to help you to create a CV through identifying your skills and presenting them on paper in a way that is useful and interesting to potential employers.

 

About Roz Fisher

Roz Fisher has been writing CVs for Australia, New Zealand, Canada, UK, Asia and Africa (including South Africa) and other international employment markets for more than eleven years. She started writing for applicants in the mining industry and very quickly branched out to all other fields including medical, project management, engineering, teaching, accounting, administration, business development and IT.

“I can’t stress enough the importance of having a résumé that is tailored to you and the local employment market – outlining your skills and highlighting your experience.

You must provide the reader with a clear mental picture of what you could do for their company.

Your CV needs to be short, sharp, and powerful, with an accurate representation of you on paper, written in a way that makes the employer want to get to know you better.

You only get one chance to impress the HR staff member who is sifting through hundreds, possibly thousands, of applications. You need a document that doesn’t draw attention for any of the wrong reasons.

My job as a qualified journalist and professional CV (also called a résumé) writer is to make sure we do everything possible to get you further along in the process.

Allow me to help kick-start you in your chosen job, with this easy-to-read, step-by-step guide to CV success.
