First impressions are lasting impressions. Your CV is the first and most important tool in your job search toolbox and, if constructed properly, it will open the door to the career opportunity you are seeking.
If you are pitching your skills to an employer that regularly deals with the best, your need to make sure that you have marketed yourself as someone who will add value to their business and that you come across as a candidate that they simply have to interview. That is your goal in writting a CV.
ReConnect Africa can help you succeed in this goal by providing an online review of your CV, online job applications and cover letters. Our review will assess your CV for relevance to your target market, format and layout, as well as its likely impact. Our experienced advisors will make recommendations to optimise your CV for your market and point out any grammatical and spelling errors that are letting you down.
No matter how well suited you might be for the job, if your CV is not targeted to the criteria the employer is looking for and doesn't adequately highlight what you can bring to the organisation, you simply will not stand out from the crowd, missing out on your dream job.
