Struggling with your CV? These tips will help you write the perfect CV

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010

In short, your curriculum vitae, or, as most people refer to it, “CV”, or resume is a summarised expression of you. Translating from “course of life” in Latin, the CV shows your professional and, at times, personal achievements; as a result, when a potential employer looks at your CV, he or she should be able to get a definite idea of your qualifications and experiences before they meet you.

CV’s have a range of legitimate purposes, but they are predominately used to gain employment. Thus, when a job posting is displayed, potential employees submit their CV’s to be examined by the employer. Naturally, the employer receiving this influx of informative documents must be able to sift through them quickly and efficiently. This makes having a well written, structured and easy to read CV of vital importance.

There is no specific way that a CV must be constructed, although there are a few main points which your CV must include; contact details, personal information, academic and professional history, your skills relevant to the job, interests and references. When sending off a CV it is important that you include a covering letter; this sits alongside the CV. A cover letter allows you to introduce yourself to your prospective employer, explain your background and level of expertise and highlight your strengths and enthusiasm. Make sure your letter says more than simply that your CV is enclosed.

The Do’s and Dont’s that we at notgoingotouni.co.uk advise when writing your CV are:

DO keep it short and clear- The most important information, such as your key skills and recent experience, needs to be near the top, where it can be seen straightaway. Your CV should normally be two pages in length; if you haven’t caught the recruiter’s interest by page two then they probably won’t read any further pages anyway.

DO ensure it looks good – Precise, eye catching presentation is also important if your CV is to differ from all the others. Make sure that it’s uncluttered, with key points simple to spot by including short sentence lengths and bullet points.

DO use chronological order- Put your employment history in date order, starting with the most recent first. Avoid leaving any gaps, so if you’ve had time out for some reason, do mention this and remember to put your qualifications in reverse order starting with the most recent.

DO include facts- List your job duties beneath each position. List your achievements, responsibilities and results. Talk about results – what difference did your presence make?

DO include a covering letter – Unless the advert shows that there is no need for a covering letter, always include one. This should show the two or three most relevant experiences from your CV that are related to the nature of the job being applied for. You should never send out a CV on its own.

DON’T lie- If you exaggerate information about your level of experience or the skills that you have and your employer finds out, you could face the sack.

DON’T list lots of details about your hobbies, unless they’re related to the job or show a quality for the job, such as the ability to work in a team and on an individual basis.

DON’T forget to place your correct contact details in a prominent place. You wouldn’t want to miss out on an opportunity because an employer wasn’t able to get in touch.

3 Dominating Ways to Build Your MLM Home Based Business

Monday, December 21st, 2009

Building your MLM home based business has gotten easier and easier. With the power of the internet you have access to many more options. New age multi level marketing is not the same as it was 20 to 30 years ago. Some of the most successful multi level marketing producers now use the internet to grow their downline. The internet is the forefront for reaching out to millions of possible prospects.

I will discuss 3 powerful ways to help grow your MLM home based business:

1. Have your own lead capture page. This is where you can capture leads when in return will become downline members. A lead capture page consists of a simple one page website with a name and email submit opt in form where they will need to enter information to be informed of your opportunity.

They are easy to create and if you have no knowledge of doing so, there are many places on the internet where you can purchase professionally done lead pages. Once you get on a proven marketing system, having your own funnel of prospects will make it so much easier to run on autopilot. The leads that you receive from your landing page will be extremely targeted.
Having a professionally looking page will help establish you as a leader in your MLM home based business.

2. Having a marketing system that works on the back end of your lead capture page is the second important aspect of growing your business. Once you have captured the email addresses of all prospects that have viewed your page, this is where you can start to build a relationship with your prospects. Once you are viewed as a leader and have a relationship with them it will be much easier for them to make a decision to join for they now have trust in you.

You set up an email auto responder that allows you to send emails whenever you want to whomever you want. Having an auto responder set up will run behind the scenes on autopilot once you have established your emails.

This can be one of the most dominating factors in growing you MLM home based business.

3. The single most important aspect of growing a downline is becoming a leader. When marketing an MLM opportunity, you should worry about marketing yourself first. Everyone goes onto the internet to find a solution to a problem. If anyone is interested in starting an MLM business they are looking to make money, not sell a product.

If you had the option of choosing $500 or $500 worth of a product, what would you choose? I would choose the cash. So why is it that when people try and promote an opportunity they try to sell the product not the fact of helping them make money?

As you become a leader your credibility in the MLM world will also improve. More and more people will look to you and join your opportunity.

Your job is to help your downline make money that is the bottom line. When you become a leader and share your support, your marketing system, and your expertise then your MLM home based business downline will grow faster. Treat this like a business not a hobby and your future will only get better and closer to a financially free one.
