Why do we need a Curriculum Vitae?
A generation ago, you would have expected to join and organisation
straight from school or college, and stay there for life. Obviously,
you would gradually move up the ladder and eventually retire and
earn yourself a nice pension. Things have changed. The environment
has changed. We have changed. Companies have changed. Loyalties
have changed.
Today, career progression is something you have to create yourself.
There is no such thing as a job for life, and it is fact that
if you want to get ahead - you have to make it happen.
In order to progress and grow, you need to change jobs several
times in the course of your working life. It is therefore increasingly
important for every employee to have a good Curriculum Vitae.
It should also be regularly updated and reviewed as who knows
when you may get that call from a Headhunter or when your perfect
job may present itself!
Remember, your CV is your paper salesman. If it
is not up-to-date and selling you whenever the opportunity arises,
it is not doing its job.
What exactly is a Curriculum Vitae (CV)?
It has been described as:
- A written representation of you'.
- 'A biographical summary of one's education and career'.
- 'A reflection of your personal and working history'.
- 'An advertisement, selling you to an employer'.
A Curriculum Vitae provides a short but full account of your life
to date. It covers your educational background, work experience,
your skills, achievements and interests.
Why is it so important to get your Curriculum Vitae right?
To get that interview!
- First impressions count. As they say, you only get
one chance to make a first impression.
- Your CV is what employers will use to gauge you as an
individual.
- Potential employers will make a judgement based on your
CV as to: whether you will fit into their business culture and
working environment; whether you are qualified; and whether
you have all the attributes and skills required for the
job.
- It is a critical document in selling and marketing you
to potential employers.
What makes a Curriculum Vita successful?
- It needs to convey a positive image.
- It must demonstrate that you are the appropriate person
for the job, and this should be shown in both the content and
construction.
- A CV must speak loudly and clearly of your value as
a potential employee, and this must be conveyed in a few brief
seconds.
- It must show how you can satisfy the employer's needs
better than any other applicant.
- It must stand out from all the others.
- It must prompt the employer to want to call you.
- It must be an Impressive CV!

of this burden.
