On Message
CV support
Get noticed. Get the job.
Employers are busy people and they're trying to solve a problem.
So make your skills and experience stand out with a CV and cover letter that are relevant, professional, chock-full of measurable achievements (not your job description!) and easy-on-the-eye. Then back up your applications with an engaging LinkedIn profile that builds your network and gets you noticed.
​
The skills and tools I'll give you are reusable! Once you have a standard CV, cover letter and LinkedIn profile, you'll be able to adapt them yourself for future use.
