Varför ett CV för det här jobbet?
- De ser det de bad om, först. Den erfarenhet som matchar annonsen kommer först, med annonsens egna ord, så att den som skummar hittar det på några sekunder.
- Det tar sig förbi programvaran. Många större arbetsgivare använder program som rangordnar CV:n efter hur väl de matchar annonsen, ofta innan någon har läst dem.
- På annonsens språk. En annons skriven på engelska får ett CV på engelska, även när ditt är på svenska.
- Dina fakta, inget påhittat. Din egen erfarenhet, omordnad och omformulerad. Det annonsen vill ha och ditt CV inte visar listas så att du kan lägga till det, bara om det stämmer. Du kontrollerar det innan du skickar det.
