CV Expert – looking for one?
CV Expert search is like seeking any other service. You have a problem and need a solution so go get a professional – Simple!!
The situation is complicated by the fact that there are quite a few “CV Experts”. Well – that is what they all claim but unfortunately the level of service can vary quite dramatically. Below are a few considerations for your search.
CV Expert – The cost!!
The first question most jobseekers ask me is the cost. OK everyone has a budget BUT remember you get what you pay for. As the famous quote says “I price was everything we would all be driving Lada’s”. I have nothing against this model of transport. Shop around but consider some of the below points and do not just make a decision on price alone.
The background of the CV Professional
This is very important. I review many sites offering CV services. Some do not have any profile. It is important to know the background of the professional. I also see many sites where the professional does not have a HR, Recruitment, Career Coaching background. Professional qualifications are not important as much of the modern views on CV’s are not taught in a classroom.
CV Expert – References/Recommendations
These are often on many websites (mine included) but are they real!! You could ask for the opportunity to talk to a satisfied client. An interesting way to find out more about a professional is to “google” their name. Many recruiters/employers use this technique to investigate potential employees.
