Product Description
This could be the best CV book yet! This is a step-by-step guide on how to achieve killer competitive advantage in job hunting, with sample CVs and templates. It provides: full, effective job-hunting tactics to meet changes in recent years, and recorded interviews with top HR professionals, who are often the first point of entry. Their views and opinions are provided throughout the book. The book and CD are packed with sample CVs and cover letters that have actually worked in real-life. These individuals were struggling to win interviews prior to their CV revamp. Their new CVs secured several interviews, many of which resulted in job offers. The CD also includes templates and real-life examples, plus full transcripts of interviews held with twelve industry experts from blue chip employers such as Vodafone, Tesco, KPMG, Korn Ferry and Jonathan Wren.

Format:Paperback
An excellent book which helps and guides you in the right direction. A CV is vital for your career so this is a welcome relief to those of us who struggle to produce a concise document.
I used this to move from one industry to another so highlighting and emphasising my relevant points and strong abilities was vital.
I highly recommend this for the real-life examples used which you will find covers an area that you specialise in.
I have rarely, if ever, given a review previoously but wanted to add my comments to this publication.
Well done and thanks!!

Format:Paperback
`How to write an Impressive CV' is by far the best book I have seen on the increasingly complex subject of CV writing. I had confidence in the CV I was using and indeed worked hard to compile the information and make it readable. I did get somewhere but I could have saved myself a lot of time if I had used Ms Whitmore's book from the start
I selected a format from this book that I felt would suit my experience and followed the advice. I liked the fact that there were many examples of what constitutes a good CV. These were included on an attached CDR. I really liked being able t0o browse through these examples and select those that I felt were particularly pertinent to my situation.
What is good about this book is that it also includes examples of good practise with regard to cover letters. Other authors try to get you to buy a further book on covering letters whilst here you have both combined.
Ms Whitmore has a clear concise style and doesn't over complicate. I thoroughly recommend this book.
