How to get a CV that impresses the NZ recruiters
CV Writers

The key for a great CV is that it is written exactly as a recruiter expects to see it, you need to write the CV to their likely requirements, no-one elses. If you provide a professional, modern 2-3 page document that instantly stands out with key information such as your recent work summary and skills that are tailored for the job being applied for then the recruiter will be impressed as they are seeing everything that is important to them right up front.

All too often the professionalism of CV's being received is sadly lacking and the information at the top of the CV is meaningless personal information or a load of wishy washy waffle as a profile or summary. Often you do not even know anything meaningful until you go to page 2 which, by that time, is way too late.

Hit the recruiter with the most important reasons for your suitability right at the top of your CV. Make it look impressive and stand up and show yourself in the best possible light as a CV Check is a time when you do truly have to sell yourself strongly.

Kiwis are notoriously unwilling to stand up and say how great they are but your CV is exactly when you need to do that. If not the next applicant, who does, will get your interview.
