-Write
an application to specifically ask for each position. Not one for all
positions.
-Avoid
sending a stereotype CV as response to adverts. Rather, respond to an advert by
writing an application to show that you are qualified for the position and that
you are the guy the
position is waiting for.
-Write
your application as a mail, not as an attachment to a mail if you are applying
via the
Internet.
-Avoid
attaching your CV as email attachment with the note ‘attached herewith’ ‘my CV
attached’, ‘the attached for consideration’, ‘see the attached’. Point is: such
applications do not
deserve to be read let alone considered.
-Be
brief but offer essential details starting with the current relevant positions
you held in recent
times.
-Avoid
gaps that cannot be explained or explain it right away.
-Start
from now and work backwards in cataloguing your attainments.
-Recent
achievements carry more value than ancient ones in most cases
-Separate
academic courses from professional training.
-Describe
things rather than just list them
-Say
what your company does, even if it is sounds too obvious.
-The
number of people you are responsible for matters, that’s what makes you a
manager.
-Read
what you have written over and over again and correct it along.
-Write
a CV for a particular vacancy, do not just drop standard CV at everybody
-Do
not employ your relative to send your application by email on your behalf
-Use
simple and popular email software [e.g. Outlook Express] rather than the
‘way-out’ one
which your target reviewer may not have.
