    About this ebook

    The current climate has made applying for jobs more competitive than ever before. When an employer advertises a vacancy they are inundated with applications. The task of then sifting and short listing these has become quite an ordeal. An employer will look for reasons to screen candidates out; for mistakes, gaps in experience and anything to whittle their pile down as quickly as possible.

    The 16 key points outlined in this e-book will help you to update your CV or create a brand new one.

    Henry Towers has over 10 years experience working in recruitment. He has helped thousands of people find employment, from senior managers to people of all ages who have never worked before. In the last 7 years he has also managed offices and been responsible for the screening and recruitment of hundreds of employees. He has gained a unique perspective and hopes to share some of that insight by helping you create a CV that matches and exceeds an employer's expectations in terms of layout and content.
