www.brailsford.infoCV consultant
Jan. 2002My sideline is writing brilliant CVs. I work with the client to provide a: - candidate profile: what they are about and what they're aiming for
- list of experience organised by date or project - summary of relevant skills divided into categories
- list of software used and qualifications Their experience is distilled into clear and easily digestible sentences that highlight projects they've worked on and how their skills were used. Each CV is tailored to the person and the industry they're aiming for. They are formatted to get information across clearly and easily. And they're designed to look good. CVs I write help people get interviews for roles they seek. And they often get that job. 12 out of 14. A pretty good hit rate. I also edit and lay out documents to provide clearer messaging and better impact.
