Finding a new position is tough, we know that here at Arras People because we spent every hour of every day helping and advising people in the project management market. One of the biggest frustrations we know many project management candidates have is the lack of feedback on their applications. The number one reason why an application is rejected is because your CV and covering letter doesn’t come up to scratch. The second reason is because there is someone out there that has better skills and experience than you do. So when you’ve applied for a position that you know you’re 100% perfect for and you’re still getting knocked back, what’s the problem? Before getting worked up and frustrated at the recruiting agent or employing organisation , thinking “their loss if they can’t see I’m brilliant and perfect for their job”, can you honestly hand on heart say that your CV is as brilliant as you?
We’ve been conducting careers clinics at Arras People for over three years, a major part of what we do is a CV review with a candidate. It’s simple, we ask a few questions, they tell us what it is they do and how they do it and 9 times out of 10 we’ll say “so why is none of that on your CV!”
Apologises for my overused phrase “it’s not rocket science”, but for many people it’s not that easy to stand back and think objectively about your career, experience, skills, capabilities etc. That’s why a third party view is a good investment and one we at Arras People will gladly offer. We’re the only consultancy to offer candidate’s this third party view, our careers clinic sessions will literally open your eyes within a 30 minute call and set you on the road with a rejuvenated and most importantly targetted CV.
