Description

Your CV is often a misused document, in addition to most of my candidates give their CV too much importance in their overall job search. I always profess that you can get a job without sending your CV or applying to online job adverts.

That said the CV is still a necessary step in a cadence which takes place in the employment process. Many companies will require you to upload your CV into their online application system. In addition, once you are finalizing any role the HR department will require your CV for their database and employee information systems. For these reasons, you will need a CV and this course gives you a quick overview of the different types of CVs and when you should use them.

The course also covers your personal branding, and social media branding, which in today’s digital environment is even more important than your CV.
