The Glen Callum Top 8 CV Writing Tips

Looking for CV writing tips and advice?

Your CV is generally the first and sometimes the only tool to enable you to sell yourself to a prospective new employer, we have listed our favourite CV tips to help you ensure a positive result.

We have taken a light hearted approach to what can sometimes be a daunting task so we hope you enjoy……..

  1. Tailor your CV towards the position for which you are applying - it’s of no use waffling in detail about your first career as a belly dancer if you are applying for a position as an automotive Branch Manager!  Be relevant and include details which will ensure that the employer is aware of your suitability.
  2. Don’t rely on spell checkers - they wont pick up words which have dual meanings, it’s amusing reading a CV which states the candidate is “ideal for the roll”, would that be a bread roll or forward roll?  Ensure you proof read your CV yourself and also get a reliable friend or relative to proof read on your behalf, check your grammar and check again – attention to detail is crucial as sloppiness and mistakes could ensure a CV is ditched.
  3. Clear layout - ensure the CV is easy to read, don’t include gimmicky colours or texts – remember not all PC software is able to read unusual font styles and when an employer has viewed a couple of hundred CV’s they won’t spend much time reading a CV with a shocking pink background.
  4. Ensure you include your contact details - You have a fantastic CV and you appear to be the ideal candidate but what’s the point of it all if the employer can’t get hold of you?…… don’t be surprised it does happen!
  5. Be careful of humour and familiarity - telling your new employer that you have a dog called Tiddles and that you prefer your dog to your wife is neither relevant nor likely to impress the employer!
  6. Use reverse chronological order - Your latest position is usually of most relevance, once again that belly dancing position you did part time whilst an university is likely not to be the position that you want your prospective employer to cast their eyes on first!
  7. Include relevant examples of previous successes - let the employer know that you have been the top salesperson for your national sales team for the past 4 years …….probably not so relevant though if you are the only salesperson in your team!
  8. Be honest - Lying about qualifications, reasons for leaving and the number of positions you have is a dangerous game………our simple rule of thumb for this is “JUST DON’T DO IT”.

The above is a snap shot of our knowledge on CV writing, for more detailed information on writing a CV view our website at www.glencallum.co.uk or for more information on job searching contact our consultants at Glen Callum Associates Ltd – the leading Automotive and Industrial Recruitment Specialists.

How to conduct a Job Interview – View our 5 top tips on interviewing!

We have put together 5 top tips on “how to interview both professionally and effectively whilst ensuring that the recruitment experience is useful and leaves the candidate with a positive view on the process and the company”.

1. Smile and encourage the candidate – an interview process can be extremely nervous, for both the interviewer and the interviewee, however nerves do not necessarily mean that the candidate is unsuitable. Take nerves into account – a good interviewer will put the candidate at ease and therefore allow them to impart their knowledge and capabilities.

2. Be aware of your expectations – A candidate who is being interviewed for a junior position may not have the same communications skills as a candidate applying for a more senior role, be realistic.

3. Have prepared a synopsis on the company and the role – by explaining the position and the company to the candidate you are allowing them to make realistic choices as to whether they are suitable and would enjoy working within the organisation. It is far less painful for all concerned if a candidate pulls out of the recruitment process at the interview stage rather than after 2 days into the job because they were not fully aware of the position requirements or the company culture.

4. Avoid disparaging questioning – A candidate will not perform at their best if they are made to feel uncomfortable, they will also take away a negative perception of the interviewer/company. If difficult questions are required, or questions used which necessitates a candidate to ‘think on their feet’, then ensure they are delivered in a constructive manner.

5. Remember it’s not always an employers market – Good candidates in any climate may still have the option to chose where they work and are obviously influenced by their interview experience. Condescending and arrogant interviewers may reflect on the company and therefore discouraging quality candidates.

Glen Callum Associates are professional interviewers and have been actively involved in the candidate screening process for many years, experience and results tell us that the interview process should be a ‘two way street’. We believe that the interview process should be an opportunity for the candidate to learn about the employer, the job and to ensure the position is right for them, as well as it being an opportunity for the recruiter/employer to ascertain if the candidate has the relevant skills, abilities and ‘fit’ for the job.

The above are just a few of our tips. For more information on our recruitment process please view our website at http://www.glencallum.co.uk or http://autojobsonline.co.uk
