The importance of your CV

Your CV is your personal marketing document and provides a potential employer with their first impression of you.  You need to ensure that your CV stands out from the crowd – but for the right reasons!

It needs to be in line with the accepted UK format and standards, include the correct content and be the right length.  Any deviation from this can result in it being ignored, or worse, deleted altogether.

Our strong understanding of UK CV requirements and international recruitment experience allow us to translate your experience gained in other countries into the UK.  By highlighting your key transferable skills drawing out the richness of your work experience, and giving it UK context, we help you secure the best position available.

Don't spray and pray

We cannot stress enough how important it is to know where your CV has been sent.  This is where we come in - by getting you in front of the top UK recruitment consultancies so you have access to the best jobs available.

We advise you to keep a written log of where your CV has been sent and not to apply to organisations at random.  Unsolicited applications without any direction or plan to your approach will most likely see your CV ignored and will severely hinder your chances of obtaining work there.
