Once you begin to write the CV you can then boil the list down to its bare, hard-hitting essentials. I will now go through some of the things you need to consider whilst you are writing. Employers are not charitable Nobody owes you a living and if you do not make the effort then you will not get the job. You have to work at your CV and find out exactly what an employer is looking for. Speak to each employer and find out what they need - also speak to their competitors, customers and even their staff to find out as much as you can before you apply.
Employers are full of fear Nobody enjoys jobhunting and equally nobody enjoys hiring.
The recruiter is under pressure to find a good candidate who will not become a problem employee. They want someone who will be able to do the job well, learn the ropes quickly and get on with customers, clients and colleagues. Getting rid of an under-performing employee is difficult and the recruiter does not want to be responsible for spending thousands of pounds hiring a dud candidate. Your CV must reassure the employer that they are making the right choice in choosing you and that you will not turn into a disaster employee. It is standard CV advice to say that facts and figures are important to support your claims.
