Potential employers may view gaps in your employment history as a red flag
It’s very common today for employees to take time off between jobs. This can happen for a number of different reasons such as raising a family, taking care of a family member who is ill, not being able to find the “ideal” job, recovering from an illness, travelling, or simply taking a break after graduating from college.

Catapult Your Career by writing an Effective Resume
“Just send me your resume and I’ll get back with you.” Most of us have heard this line quite a few times in our past. Fortunately, most of us have a resume. But is your resume doing its job of representing you to prospective employers and ultimately getting interviews?
Writing an Accomplishment Driven Resume
In the midst of hundreds, if not thousands, of résumés recruiters and employers receive for any given position, your résumé needs to stand out from the crowd. You must make the Hiring Manager want to read your résumé more thoroughly than just the rudimentary 10-20 seconds the vast majority of your competition will warrant. The way to do this is by designing an accomplishment driven résumé.
Why are you moving?
We now live in the era when it pays to manage your career as opposed to just letting it happen to you. As in any other successful campaign, knowledge is vital, so here at CV Masterclass we have a large and growing resource that will put you in touch with information and advice about training, employment sectors, career choices and the arts and sciences of making an application.
What does your CV say about you?
So what does your CV say about you? Your CV is one of the most important documents that you will ever have to create in your life. And yet, many people spend no more than an hour creating their CV!
Top Tips on CV Writing
I want to simplify the subject by keeping away from jargon and concentrating on what a CV is actually for. When I started writing CVs for a living we were just moving from the age of the stencil to DTP and photocopying on expensive paper – CVs looked better but they were still very formal in content.
The Resume by Jeff Rowe
What is a Resume? The resume is a description of your work history and career. But more than this, it is a marketing tool. It represents you in a selected way to get employers to invite you to a job interview. Your resume is a showcase of who you are and it needs to make you shine and stand out over competing candidates. The resume is the first impression an employer has of you. Employers are looking at your resume in a way that it says something to them, and it should look differently and yet attractive enough to separate you from the pack, and still give them the information as to who you are.

Recruiters spend less than 10 seconds reviewing a CV
ResumeDoctor recently undertook a study by interviewing several hundred recruiters and headhunters to find out what they are saying about CVs. So what are the recruiter’s likes and dislikes in a CV and what is going to get a CV read by them?

Use the power of letters to land the right job!
Don’t spam! Your chances of moving beyond the original pile increase every time you make a connection with a reader. You actually communicate more when you prepare five targeted letters than 50 generic ones.
