Poor CV = No Job Interviews

Here is some data that’ll shock you (or maybe NOT)

  • Average application to interview rate in Ireland, 2% – 5%
  • If bombing out generic CVs, that falls further, <1%

Your poor CV is killing your job search

I heard this first had the other day while chatting with a potential client. I could see he had good experience, but his CV was poor. All the usual suspects – too wordy, poor layout, and underwhelming content. That said, when he informed me he had made 100+ job applications and only secured 1 interview, I was a bit taken aback

3 things that’ll transform your results

  1.  Write an interview impactful CV (If you can’t do it, get help!!)
  2.  Customise your CV, even subtle changes can improve things
  3.  Play SMART re: job adverts‼️ Referrals can boost your ratio, 3% to 30%

Applying for jobs with endless rejections (or no-reply) can be soul destroying

But it doesn’t have to be this was!!

NB: INSANITY = Keep doing the same things, expecting different results!
