CV Tips – Your Personal Sales Brochure
Jobseekers need to change their focus when thinking about their CV. If you are thinking “story of my life” you are in trouble. Start thinking “sales”, “sales brochure” and “customer”. When you make this transformation you will transform your results. You see a CV is not a story of your life, work experience, education and interests. Instead it is a sales brochure focused on the employer identifying how you meet their needs and requirements.
Most jobseekers jump to find CV templates, sample CV’s, CV layout and CV format. My advice is to ensure that you understand the above point before you take any steps. If you don’t get this point you won’t get the interview.

I could not agree more. I tell people to think baseball card, stats, and impact statements that allow for people to quickly see what they are capable of doing. Hiring managers are like stats sponges. Use figures and straight forward statements. Don’t tell the story.
