🚨 CV CRIME OF THE WEEK 🚨
The 7-page CV.
We love enthusiasm.
We really do.
But if your CV needs a contents page, we're probably in trouble. 😂
Your CV doesn't need to tell us absolutely everything you've done since leaving school.
Keep it:
✔️ Relevant
✔️ Clear
✔️ Easy to read
And most importantly…
Make us want to meet you!

JOB HUNT TIP 🐙
If you're applying for jobs, don't just send the same CV to every vacancy.
Take 5 minutes to look at the job advert and ask yourself:
✔️ What experience are they looking for?
✔️ What skills do I have that match?
✔️ Have I made those skills obvious on my CV?
A good CV doesn't just tell an employer what you've done.
It shows them why you're right for their job.
And if you're not sure whether your CV is doing you justice, ask your recruiter. That's what we're here for! 🐙

RECRUITER REALITY…
Things candidates say:
🗣️ “I can start immediately.”
🗣️ “I'll definitely be there.”
🗣️ “I'll send my CV over tonight.”
🗣️ “I didn't get your message.”
🗣️ “What was the pay again?”
🗣️ “I've actually accepted another job.”
😂😂😂
If you've ever worked in recruitment, you'll understand.
And if you're a candidate reading this…
We still love you really! ❤️🐙
