Some Common CV Related questions

Q: Is it alright to lie or bend the truth on your CV?
A: It is never a good idea to lie about anything- let alone a CV. Ask yourself this question: Would you trust someone who lied to you?

The answer should be obvious- besides that, a CV often forms part of an employment contract- if it is found that you lied, you can be dismissed. Never ever lie on a CV. If you have a difficult work issue or a period in your life when you did not work, please send us your CV for review. We can help- email us your CV to success@CVthatworks.com and we can help.

Q: Why do you need a cover letter?
A: A professional cover letter can make the difference between you getting an interview and not. Put yourself in the shoes of the employer- a well constructed cover letter shows at the very least that you are able to put together a professional communiqué. It sets you apart; there are no traffic jams on the extra mile.

Q: I’m well connected, why do I need a CV?
A: No matter how well connected you happen to be, at some point you will need a CV. Don’t embarrass your colleague by not having a CV ready when you are asked for it. You may find that your contact wasn’t that well connected after all. Another reason for having a CV is that people move on- it’s always a good idea to have an up to date CV ready- nobody knows when someone will leave, a promotion possibility arises or an opportunity for advancement comes around. People are impressed when you have a CV readily available to send them immediately.

Q: Why don’t I just write my own CV or get a family member to do it?
A: Many people actually do this- at the same time, most people don’t get interviews. You are too close to yourself to be objective. The other issue is that most people undersell themselves- British reserve has no place on a CV- you need a professionally produced CV- we have a success rate of over 95% having written over 1200 CV’s for people in all sorts of occupations.

Q: Why shouldn’t I just mass mail my CV?
A: The answer is that you can. If you want mediocre results, go ahead. A far better option is to use our CV distribution service- we get great results.
