I regularly get requests for CV Examples and CV Templates from jobseekers in Ireland. Personally my advice is DON’T TAKE TEMPLATES OF THE INTERNET. Why? Because most of them are dated and used as a ploy to attract you to the webiste. Remember there is no such thing as a free lunch. Ideally I recomment that jobseekers pay for a professional CV service. (But I guess I would as it is my business)

I appreciate that not everyone can afford to have their CV written by a professional so I have looked online for some sites to recommend for CV Templates. To be honest they are not great but here goes CV Template Example 1 and CV Template Example 2.

In need of a professional CV service in Ireland.

CAREER CHANGE STARTS HERE – Career Coaching Workshop

“There’s no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love. There is only a scarcity of resolve to make it happen.” – Wayne Dyer

Many employees drift through their career working in jobs lacking fulfilment or any real satisfaction. Others believe that work is not for enjoyment therefore taking little action to find that dream job. As a result it is estimated that as many as 80% of employees are unhappy at work and on the wrong career road.

• Do you want to be inspired to take up the challenge of career change?
• Do you want your career to add to your life as opposed to take from it?

How your CV can help you through a difficult job market.

Unless you don’t listen to the radio, read the papers or watch the news on TV it is quite hard to miss the bombardment of negative stories about the Irish economy. Recession, job loss and debt are all words unfamiliar on these shores for well over a decade. Developments over the last year have a direct impact on job hunting and therefore individuals need to get themselves in tiptop shape when entering the job market.

The most important change in the job market is that there is now more competition facing jobseekers. In recent years many employers struggled to source suitable candidates often employing a less than ideal recruit. Now there are less companies recruiting and more unemployment so more people looking for work. This means that there will certainly be more choice fore employers. Jobseekers will have to make sure that they have an IMPACT CV, utilise all available job search strategies and sell themselves at interview.

CV – IMPACT CV

Fortunately for you most CV’s are poor. This means that if you put some effort into your CV you will increase your application to interview ratio. The more interviews you get the better chance you have of landing a job. You need to consider CV Layout, CV Format and ensure that your CV is focused. Remember your CV has a short window of opportunity to make an impact so don’t waste this opportunity.

Most jobseekers appreciate that we are now entering into a tighter job market in Ireland. The last 12-18 months has seen redundancies across most sectors in Ireland. Manufacturing, Retail & Construction have been the hardest hit but there have been job losses in other sectors including the Pharmaceutical Sector.

Whether you have been affected by redundancy or you are seeking for a new job it is essential to have a professional CV that makes an impact landing you those important interviews. The problem is that most jobseekers cut corners when writing a CV. In a buoyant market this may be fine BUT in a tight market you will suffer.

CV’s fail for a variety of reasons – poor spelling and grammar, poor format, bad layout, poor content BUT the biggest problem with most CV’s is that they lack focus and therefore do not make the required impact on the reader.

Get the CV right and you will notice an increase in your application to interview ratio. Some jobseekers benefit from the help of a professional.

Measurability offers an expert CV service to jobseekers across the country. I am regularly asked were we are based BUT it does not matter for CV design as most communication is via phone and email and we do not meet clients. CV design is unlike interview coaching or career coaching where face to face meetings are quite important. So we design CV’s for jobseekers in Dublin, Galway, Limerick, Cork, Waterford and other counties. Visit our website to read what other jobseekers have said about our CV service.
