Getting your CV seen by Recruiters
You might not realise it, but many companies use automated systems called Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to sift through applications. And if your CV isn’t a match for them, it’s very likely to be rejected even if you are a match. In this Workshop, we'll teach you the right formatting techniques and language to use, so these systems can easily read and approve your CV, and ensure you make it onto the recruiter's shortlist – the first crucial hurdle.

Structure your CV like a pro

Spotting mistakes that get your CV rejected
It can be really disheartening to send out your CV for a role you know you’re a great fit for, and not hear anything back. The truth is, many talented people are getting their CVs rejected by recruiters and Hiring Managers over simple yet critical mistakes that can easily be avoided.
This session will show you how to avoid these common mistakes:
Stacking your CV with irrelevant information
Using old-fashioned or empty phrases
Not showing your results with numbers
Spelling and grammar mistakes
Letting your skills and experience shine
A truly effective CV needs to speak directly to recruiters and hiring managers, showcasing your value from the very first glance - especially in the current job market. But lots of people find it hard to really show off their best skills and qualifications in a way that clicks with recruiters.
This session will help you:
Figure out the skills employers really want
List your wins, training, and qualifications the right way
Show off your "people skills" too!
