CV writing and interviews
To help you prepare for a possible change in career, Hannah Cross, Consultant, Resourcing & Onboarding shares some thoughts on CV writing and what to consider when going for an interview.
“We spend so much time at work that our role often defines. Yet sometimes we don’t put lots of thought into what kind of job we actually want. Many of us often fall into a role, enjoy it for a few years, and then another job comes along. Now is the time to really think about what you want your next career move to be so I’ve offered some tips below which I hope will help.

One of the world’s best selling books is called “How to Win Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie. Written in 1936, the principles are still true to this day, and highly applicable to CVs, covering letters, and interviews:
- Become genuinely interested in other people (ask researched questions)
- Smile. Even when you are nervous, smiling makes you feel better
- Remember the person’s name
- Talk in terms of the other person’s interests and make them feel important, sincerely.
However we are communicating with people, for job applications, interviews or just through our emails, consider everything from the other person’s perspective. It will help get you so much closer to your career goals.”
