Why take this course?

Did you know that recent studies have shown that recruiters will spend on average just 6 SECONDS looking at your CV before they determine if you belong in the yes, no or maybe pile? 
With such a short time to make an impact, how do you ensure that you stand out from the crowd? 

Your CV is much more then a list of your achievements, position descriptions, hobbies and certificates - it is an advertisement of you as a professional and your personal brand. That's why it's so important to ensure that your CV not only talks to your skillset and experience but also showcases your personality and values. 

By making sure your CV represents you and your personal brand, you are ensuring you are always putting your best foot forward in your job applications.

As someone that reads CVs for a living, I found it hard to put the critical eye on my own to get it right. It was great to revisit this with Developme and the result is great. Will be useful in my current process towards CAPL but also for future career planning. Thanks so much for your work - would recommend to others.
