How To Make The Most Of Your Job Search

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Spending time writing a CV is both the most boring part of your job search and also, ironically, the most important. Get it right and employers will bite you hand off to get you to interview. Get it wrong and no one will ever want to meet you. Writing a good CV is not as daunting as it may initially seem. It is essentially very simple but it is often over complicated by agencies and websites that try and make you pay them to complete the service. The best way is to take an example CV of the internet and use it as a template. Firstly you will need to complete the tedious task of listing the dates and durations of all of your previous jobs. There is no two ways about it this can be very boring – but despair not it will be worth it. Once this is done you can do the more creative part of listing the roles and responsibilities that you undertook as part of these jobs. Remember that if you don’t find it interesting then don’t expect a potential employer to.

Once you have spent all of that time working on the CV then it is important that you get it out there. The best way you can get response back is to send it to as many jobs as possible. There is no point in being over-selective in the places that you send it to. It has to be said that in many cases agencies can be helpful in a job search. They will often have a list o jobs that need filling and if you send them your CV and sign up to them they will screen your CV and put it forward to the employer. But it is well worth peppering as many agencies as possible with your CV. It is also worth applying to jobs that advertise independently. Even if you are not a hundred percent sure that the job that you are applying for is exactly for you. You will often find that it is not until you have been to the interview that you can make a proper judgment on whether or not the jobs is for you. For example some jobs are made more interesting if there is a good atmosphere in the workplace and this cannot be judged on paper.
