Synopsis

A good CV is an essential tool in the survival kit of every job hunter. It shows that you have the necessary qualities and qualifications demanded by a potential employer, and improves your chances of getting an interview.

The new edition of this best-selling guide sets out the ground rules for preparing a CV by showing how to select which details go in and which stay out, how to lay out and present a CV and how to make a great first impression. There are even more easy-to-read sample CVs for a wide variety of jobs: practical, creative, administrative, sales and marketing, technical and management. They are ready to be adapted for your individual needs and are accompanied by downloadable online material - one sample letter for each job type.

Readymade CVs also looks at specific 'tricky' situations such as getting your first job, returning to work after a career break, continuing in work as a mature employee or after retirement. With the addition of action words and positive phrases to help you put together the perfect CV for any job or situation, this is a comprehensive and indispensable resource.
