Product Description

Product Description

The CV Book is the definitive guide to CV writing, authored by James Innes, the Founder and Managing Director of The CV Centre – the UK’s leading CV consultancy.  James is widely considered to be one of the UK’s leading experts on the topic of CVs; it is arguable that nobody has more up-to-date, relevant experience.  The advice given is tried, tested and proven on a daily basis within The CV Centre – responsible for writing tens of thousands of CVs annually.

 

The CV Book includes free bonuses such as CV and cover letter templates for download and immediate use.  The templates cover all circumstances – from graduates to executives, and include ‘special cases’, e.g. legal, medical, IT, teaching, etc.  There’s also a special offer for The CV Centre’s services.

 

A key feature of the book – nothing quite like it exists in competing titles – is a chapter covering the 15 most common CV writing mistakes and how to avoid them (based on extensive statistical analysis The CV Centre has undertaken of many thousands of CVs).  Only a tiny percentage of CVs manage to avoid all these mistakes and most are victim to several.  Avoiding these mistakes makes all the difference to whether the CV ends up in the ‘yes’ pile or the ‘no’ pile – also known as the bin!

Perfect - just what I needed, I have never really given my CV much thought before but in this market I needed something to make me stand out. This did the job fantastically - I previously thought my CV was good but this book pointed out some really good areas for improvement and I could see how much difference it made straight away - I definitely recommend this book.

If you need to write or update your CV, then this is a brilliant book - it has everything you need about how to structure your CV, what to put in and what to leave out. There's advice on how to deal with various problems, such as lack of work experience, or being over-qualified or under-qualified, and there are loads of tips and hints throughout. The book also covers writing CVs for jobs abroad, and for various professions where `the rules' are different, and there are real-life examples and links to online resources too. Highly recommended.
