Welcome to the course
Your Kick-ass CV Starts Here!
Hi and welcome to How to Create Your Own Kick-ass CV!
The intention is that this course will walk you through the process of writing a CV for yourself, step by step. You can hire a CV writer like me, but I would love to empower people with the skills to do it themselves.
It might not be the easiest thing you have ever done as writing about yourself can be hard work, we tend to sway towards being overly modest to avoid bragging, but I have made this course as easy and as basic as possible, breaking down a CV into sections.
The result will be you have a new CV, written by you, and about you, so you can sell yourself to a potential employer. It is also going to be ATS compliant as so many people apply online now. I will explain what ATS and how it affects you in unit 2.
The outcome for you is that you can create a CV that showcases your skills and experience, tailor it to a specific job application, and get an interview. You can then nail the interview and live happily ever after… well maybe not, as fairytales don’t exist, but better jobs do and having the best possible CV you can gives you a great chance at getting what you want.
There is no one perfect CV, many things are down to personal choice, but based on my professional experience and viewpoint I have created this course to give you my guide on how to create your CV.
I can’t promise you ice cream, but I can promise you a great course that will help you write a kick-ass CV!
About me (optional)
Feel free to skip this bit as you may know me already or may not care and that’s cool. This course is about YOU and your CV not me! But for the nosey ones I thought I would tell you about my background and why I have written a CV course!
I started my own business Pay for Precision when my daughter was a baby as I wanted to stay at home with her and earn a little. I did proofreading for friends and that started to grow. Skip on 9 years and I have a son as well now and the business has grown gradually each year, as intended. I am a successful content creator on LinkedIn with 30k followers. Check out my LinkedIn and recommendations if you haven’t already. I also love ice cream and do pole fitness and aerial hoop as hobbies! Not your average proofreader 😉
I used to work in recruitment advertising, having been a copywriter and proofreader and account exec all rolled into one as well as working in sales, for a newspaper, in Council tax and as a door coordinator at TGI Fridays.
I have written hundreds of CVs for clients now and now focus my time on high-end executive level roles, but this course is to help EVERYONE!
