CREATE YOUR CV WITH PURPOSE
CREATE YOUR CV WITH PURPOSE
This means that your CV is essentially your marketing tool, the document you use to sell yourself to people who probably have not met you.
While your CV records your past, it is also a document which is constantly being created. As you gain new experience, further education and other skills so these can be added to your CV. When you first start out in the working world your CV will probably be fairly simple, but as you move on you will be able to expand it. You create you own CV. In effect you are writing you CV as you live and work.
This means that you can decide in advance what you would like to have on your CV in the future. Once you have decided, you can begin to look for the skills, experience and qualifications that you would like to have recorded in your “marketing document”. Rather than allow you CV to be a document which is created by accident, it makes a lot of sense to decide what your CV will be.
Planning and goal setting are two of the most important skills used by successful people. These people do not let their life, and therefore their CV, happen by accident. They decide what they want and then they plan to get it. The sooner you start this planning process the better, even while you are still at school. If you achieved in something at school, such as holding a leadership position or excelling at sports or academics, this can be mentioned in your CV for the rest of your life. Start collecting positive content for your CV now. If you intend studying for a qualification after school, it would help your chances of being accepted by a university or college if you can show that you had an interest in and possibly even experience of the career you have chosen while still at school. Look for opportunities to gain work experience during your holidays or spare time, even as a volunteer, in a career you are interested in. You can record that in your CV right away, perhaps even with a letter of reference from the person you worked for. There you go – you have work experience in your CV already. That’s a great start!
A CV is something you build constantly over your lifetime. It is never too soon to start. And it is never to soon to start planning what will be in your CV. Create your CV with purpose, after all, the best marketing documents are never put together by accident.

Your CV is a record of your ability, qualifications and experience. While it is sometimes used to introduce presenters and speakers in order to convince the audience that they are worth listening to, the main use of a CV is to show a prospective employer that the candidate is worth interviewing for a pos

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
