5 Targeting your CV Targeting your CV A successful CV is targeted to the specific job criteria set out by the employer. These criteria will be found in the job description and the person specification. Job specifications are frequently divided into Essential and Desirable requirements. The desirable requirements can be used to narrow down the candidates when there are a large number of high quality applicants. In short you need to find out what the job involves and then think about how you meet the requirements. A targeted CV will highlight the evidence an employer is looking for. A generic CV will hide it. Employer Needs: - excellent academic record - IT skills - communication skills - written, verbal and presentation skills -initiative - problem solving skills - good command of English - commercial awareness - enthusiasm and motivation - leadership potential You will then need to provide concrete evidence of the above in your CV Proof Read! Exercise Worked in a busty office 1999: Career Break to renovate my horse Received a plague for Salesperson of the Year Skills: Strong Work Ethic, Attention to Detail, Team Player, Self Motivated, Attention to Detail. Revolved customer problems and inquiries. Two CV s Job Description Which of the CV s is best and why? 5 mins Interviews Made Easy CAREERS SERVICE One-size-fits-all solutions don t work. 5

9 The STAR Format Example: Teamwork The Star Format is useful for putting a logical structure on examples or stories you have to tell: Situation: Describe the situation or problem. Task: Describe the tasks that the situation required. Action: Describe the actions you took to complete the task successfully and any obstacles overcame. Result: Highlight outcomes achieved. Situation: I wanted to raise 2,000 for charity and to fund a trip to Scottish Highlands organised for the fundraisers. Task: To enlist the support of my colleagues and friends in supporting my efforts to raise money. Action: I organised a table-top top quiz, mini-marathonmarathon team and six bag-packing days at supermarkets. Results: Two colleagues set themselves same target. Together, 6,000 was raised in total. Competency Based Questions Exercise Teamwork: Describe a team project you worked on. What problems arose? How did you deal with them? Communication Skills: Describe a situation when you had to persuade others to support your view. Give an example of any reports you ve written which illustrate your writing skills Interpersonal Skills: What kinds of people do you find it difficult to work with? How do you handle these situations. Organisation Skills: Describe a situation where you generated a plan leading to a specific goal. Problem-solving: Tell us about an error you made and what you learned. Pick a competency Use the STAR format to structure your response Groups of 3 10 mins Remember...its what you did, not what was done What is Social Networking Basically making friends and connections virtually versus in person Through networks you get things done but in real life connections are hidden Online you can generally see everybody s connections (depends on network) Adding friends or business connections online expands your network helping you find a job Keep it professional
10 Employers and Social Networking Job Seekers possible Social Networking sites More and More employers using social networking to link in with potential employees Example: Students who follow KPMG on Twitter are exposed to news and information about KPMG that will help them understand our workplace culture professional - Used by many recruiters to find job candidates for ads, you can add your personality, pictures, personalise it tweet for jobs, find postings. Add value to your network so you can look like the professional you are Its not what others can do for you, but what you can do for others always. LinkedIn LinkedIn is becoming the most well known unlike Facebook, it is focused on career development Used mainly by people with a few years work experience it still has use for university students If you want to find out more about a particular job you can join a professional group and post questions Alumni groups can be a route to finding ex-students who have studied your course or who are working in a career that you are interested in. Keep your Linkedln profile concise but fully completed especially if you have niche skills such as unusual programming language. Facebook Content is very important: - Good photo - Status updates: Jennifer is looking for a job as a Youth Worker. Any advice? - Blog - Groups, causes, and fan pages Clean up your profile Manage your privacy settings Create friend lists personal and professional 10
11 Other points of note.. Twitter is more worthwhile in certain sectors such as marketing, communications and charities. When you sign up to a social networking site, whether Twitter, Facebook or any other, you will create a profile of yourself. This is what prospective employers will see first, so treat it like a CV: include all your relevant experience and keep it up to date. Joining careers related groups on Facebook is an easy way of keeping in the loop for up to date news, events, and opportunities. UCC careers Service has pages listing employer and career specific events. Protect your Reputation Keep it Private Do you want employers, lecturers, colleagues to see it. Check social networking privacy settings Why Because.. Social Networking Nationale Suisse employee sacked after surfing Facebook while off sick Reuters, April 2009 We won t hold drunken picture against you, it helps build up a picture Director of Digital Strategies, Racepoint Group UK Take Advantage Build a positive presence online Expand Your Network 11
