Career Services from Measurability

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.

One of the popular questions I am asked by clients is “where are you based?” I guess most of them do not realise that 99% of CV design is completed without any face to face contact between career expert and the client as the process is completed by phone and email. I never recommend meeting as I find this adds unnecessary time to the process. It would be different for career coaching or interview coaching where 99% of this I complete face to face.

Important questions to ask a CV expert

Experience – Very few clients ask me about my experience and knowledge. OK this is outlined in my profile and many clients see my career advice in the Irish Independent, Sunday Tribune and websites like RecruitIreland. Having said this I think it is still important to ask the question.

Track Record – A few references would be nice.

Approach to CV design – Get the career expert to discuss their views on CV’s to get a feel for their knowledge and approach. There are many “grey men in grey suits” designing CV’s from standard templates with little impact.

Price – It is important to shop around but like any other service the lowest is not always the best
