[This post is written as an informal part of a university module]
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nSpeaker: Paul Charman
\r\nArea: CV Writing
I've had so many patronising talks about CV writing in my life that I'll admit\r\nI was dreading yet another. The fact that Paul almost at once acknowledged\r\nthat his slides and advice may be patronising was a good start though, I\r\nsuppose. I have no doubt that for people who have not been subjected to so\r\nmuch identical advice in their lifetime would have found the talk useful and\r\ninformative, but for me it served only to reinforce everything I already knew.
\r\n(Not to mention contradict some of the things the first speaker of this module\r\nsaid, and consequently support some of my comments in my first blog post).
\r\nWith every website, book, tutor and professional giving out matching advice\r\nabout CV writing, it baffles me how people still manage to get it wrong. But I\r\nguess advice is rarely given out for people to take. I do feel I learnt a\r\ngreat deal about the subject over summer, working closely with the staffing\r\nteam at Google (although there are many company-specific quirks, that may not\r\napply to the wider industry). But if I want fresh, new advice about applying\r\nfor jobs, I feel I would seek it from a recruiter, someone in the industry...\r\nsomeone who actually reads and judges the CVs for a living. But even then,\r\nuntil recruitment processes in general get a massive overhaul, there is only\r\nso much anyone can say about the subject.
