They reckon on average, an employer has no more than 12 seconds to make a decision on whether your CV goes onto the 'To be interviewed' pile or into the shredder! Shocking but true!
Another truth is that since we’re all have different work histories, skills and personalities, there is no single way to write a CV for a huge range of different jobs and organisations. The ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to CV writing, where you send the same old, tired CV to every company you approach, might work, but chances are, it won’t. I can hear that shredding machine from here!
There are, however, definite do’s and don’ts that you avoid at your peril, and this guide will help you identify which sort of CV will do the best job at being shredded with the rest!
