Good post Mervyn. I cannot remember the number of times i have said the same thing to friends, colleagues and candidates over the years. The biggest problem is that very few people who are not experienced recruiters dont know what to look for in a CV. much like a brochure many people latch onto the flash rather than the substance and thus every reader will see something different in a CV.

VP...what would you expect that guys resume to look like if he were applying to you for a job?" His…

To really be effective, a CV has to be written from the reader's point of view. Who's the reader? The <u>recruiter</u> or the <u>employer</u>.<br />
<br />
Too many times candidates push their agenda without thinking more deeply to the actual consumer of their skills and talents. What a candidate has achieved is important only if it syncs up with the needs and wants of the recruiter or employer.<br />
