CVs and Interviews

CV & Interview Preparation

I regularly bang the “CV & Interview Preparation” drum but other famous people believed in the value of preparation. I have highlighted two of these individuals Roy Keane & Abraham Lincoln and their words of wisdom. Perhaps you will listen to them!!

“Fail to Prepare – Prepare to Fail”

This quote may not have originated from but was certainly made famous by Roy Keane during the Irish preparation for the 2002 world cup. He was unhappy with the Irish team preparation and made his views known. The rest is history. OK we can debate Roy Keane and how he handled this event but there should be no debate about the importance of preparation. CV & Interview Preparation is essential and we can change the above quote to “Fail to Prepare for CV’s or Interviews – Prepare to Fail in the Job Market”.

“If I was given six hours to chop down trees, I would spend the first four sharpening the axe.”

This is a famous quote from Abraham Lincoln. He obviously believed in the importance of preparation and used the task of chopping trees to highlight his point. You can transfer this example to CV and Interviews. Writing the CV is not the hard part. Even those with two finger typing kills can do this. Preparing the content is the essential part. Likewise sitting the interview is made easier when you have spent time preparing properly.

It is no secret that jobseekers who prepare properly get better results. It is no secret that most successful people prepare. Whether it is exams, public speaking or making a meal – preparation will improve results.
