"... a good guide" - The Guardian, July 2006
Product Description
The most effective CV you’ll ever write.
The best interview you’ll ever give.
This revolution in the way we sell ourselves in CV and at interview is based on the Elevator Pitch concept and has now been endorsed and recommended by over 40 of the world's leading business schools and universities, from Kellogg to Columbia in the US, from Insead to London Business School in Europe and from Otago to Sydney in Asia-Pacific.
The Elevator Pitch prioritises who you are and how you work, the qualities that you are employed for, rather than what you did and where you worked, your past, which is the emphasis of a traditional CV. The Elevator Pitch shifts the focus from your perspective to the employer’s perspective and from the past to the future.
It's a way of presenting yourself that makes more sense to the employer, and allows you to sell yourself more effectively. It's a way of writing a CV and preparing for interview that will vastly increase your chances of getting the job.
Employers now are focused very much on competencies as a way of deciding who to employ. This is the book that shows you have to bring your competencies to the forefront. In a time when there are far more graduates than top class graduate jobs, standing out from the crowd is vital. This is the book to show you how.
The second edition incorporates feedback from the authors' global seminar and lecture program, meetings with careers advisors at these institutions as well as helping hundreds of people create their job winning CVs.

Get it right first time,

This review is from: Pitch Yourself: The Most Effective CV You'll Ever Write. Stand Out and Sell Yourself (Paperback)
This book was practical with just one objective to get you the job you want. It did just that for me. Like most of us I was using effectively the same CV I had been using since leaving university and had not given the process any thought since. The book made it possible for me to breakdown the recruiting process into building blocks. I could critically analyse each stage and take a measured approach to answering the employer's question: What do you offer me? I would suggest, if you are serious about getting yourself to the top of the short list for interview before the next candidate, get a copy of this book.

No Brainer - not worth not having,

What can I say, I bought this book recently and rewrote my CV and sent it off to a number of companies. Previously I hadn't had many replies but having changed my CV and my outlook due to this book i got offered every job I applied to. Can't argue with that - well worth the price.

Best choice if you're career minded,

This review is from: Pitch Yourself: The Most Effective CV You'll Ever Write. Stand Out and Sell Yourself (Paperback)
I bought a copy of this book 2 years ago when one of the writes spoke at Leeds University. It's been my career bible every since. Constructing your career DNA is THE most useful task that any person who wants a successful career can do. It takes a long time, but once you have your own collection of standardised experiences matched with competencies, your ready to go. When customising a cv to each job you apply for, it's jsut a matter of copying and pasting the appropriate sentence/paragraph you've made earlier. You just update this DNA as you go so each time you come to writing a new cv, you're all set.
Oh and I HIGHLY recommend using the formats of the cv's that are given as an example, especially the personal statement element. It's secured me two good jobs so far.
