Not Good for Graduates!!! - This book is ok for generic CVs etc. but as a graduate having just come out of university all I ended up with was a pompous arrogant sounding CV. I only realised this when I went to a graduate website (Prospects) and downloaded a couple of their free sample CVs. If only I had done this 3 months ago I would have saved myself alot of time, effort, rejection and 6 quid. I didn t really need this book, all I needed was an example of someone else s CV so I could work on mine! Simple as that. I didn t like this book, it was too vague and not realistic enough

Does what it says on the tin - This engaging book is presented in three accessible sections: Understanding CVs and their impact, Composing your CV, and Making your CV work for you. Its pages contain a wealth of hard-hitting, entertainingly presented advice illustrated by short, punchy examples and at-a-glance checklists. Following this clear format, you ll quickly craft a CV all but guaranteed to stand you tall in your crowd and achieve, as John says, the sole purpose to get you into a room with someone who can influence your future.As a Senior Outplacement Consultant with DBM in London, I think that Why you? CV messages to win jobs is up there with John s established classic How to get a job you ll love. Once more he delivers what he says on the cover, and I regularly recommend both titles to my clients.

Excellent, practical advice from an expert in the field - Up-to-the-minute, heaps of practical information on how to put a winning CV together.As a recruitment consultant, I welcome John Lees book. He takes the reader through preparing a CV, reminding them that its purpose is to get a meeting or interview. Then he explains how to tailor the CV for different types of job situations, especially relevant when you are trying to move into a new sector where you may not have the obvious skillset. Next he explores how to proactively use your CV, in approaching agencies/headhunters and speculatively, to target organisations. This book should leave the reader feeling confident that they can produce a right-for-purpose CV and motivated to do so. If every candidate were to read John s book before sending their CV in, it would make our sifting process much more difficult!

This book can help you - I think this book is great.When I starting reading this book I doubted that it would have a great deal to say to me because I ve read a number of similar books previously. I was surprised that the book made me think harder than I had expected about CVs and the context in which they are going to be read. I like the book s straightforward style of writing and I found its tone to be encouraging throughout. The use of checklists of things to do and not to do makes it very easy to see the key points.Having a powerful CV is a key step in the job search journey and this book can help you on your way.

A definitive guide to mastering the art of CV writing - Why you? CV messages to win jobs is the definitive guide to CV writing and provides clear and simple guidance on which CV type to use for different career directions. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to change job or career path.
