An easy, step by step guide to putting your CV togetherBefore I wrote this book I bought every other CV book I could lay my hands on. Trawling through them I realised there were three important shortcomings in what was available. First, some were simply UK editions of American books - which is pretty useless as the conventions of putting a one page "resume" together are irrelevant in the UK employment market. Second, there were books full of example CV's - well I'm sorry, but we're all unique and you need to know how to put together YOUR CV not someone elses's. Third, the content may have been quite good in one or two books but they were boringly presented with little or no visual content.
So, surprise surprise, you will find that "Creating a Successful CV" is easy to read, full of useful tips and well illustrated. Perhaps most heartenly it has received positive reviews from recruitment consultants and personnel managers alike - the two most important audiences the job seeker needs to convince. So if they like it, then it should help you find a better career. Oh, and good luck in your job search.
