About the course:
Do you have good CV but somehow you keep missing out on reaching the next stage of the recruitment process? This workshop will enable you to identify areas which might be letting you down such as layout, content, tone or tailoring and help you ensure that your CV stands out from the crowd for all the right reasons. You will look at the role of artificial intelligence in scanning CVs and ways you can make sure that your CV gets through to the next stage. Working as part of a small group you will look at ways of incorporating power verbs, tailoring your key skills to specific job roles and using a modern professional layout.How will the course be delivered?
