The Traditional CV is Dead!
Added: (Tue Sep 04 2007)
At last there is a dedicated CV Service for the Construction Industry! The construction industry turns over £100bn per annum which contributes a massive 8.2% of the UK GVA and directly employs over 2.1million individuals (or about 7.5% of the working population). Construct-a-CV team manages and creates CVs and related services directly for construction professionals. You can contact themm at www.construct-a-cv.co.uk The construction industry is no longer merely a blue-collar work-force. Graduates from all disciplines are now urgently required for this vital sector.
The industry is still booming and with the Olympics coming to London in a few years the amount of new-build commercial constructions have quadrupled in certain areas, notably the East End.
The traditional CV is dead! Bland, poorly presented, these traditional CVs compromise the documents impact and the CV becomes a shadow of a candidates promise. Construct-a-CV can reinvigorate a CV. Construct-a-CV use a lively and innovative approach to CV creation and will transform the way that top industry employers treat the applicant. Construct-A-CV can give a client the most effective CV ever seen, allowing the industry professional to get the job that is so deserved.
This new approach to recruitment within the building sector has revolutionised the somewhat outdated methods of staff selection. For so many years ‘builders’ have been treated as almost non-professional! The public perception of the trade is not flattering, and the operatives no longer have shaved-heads, viewable bums and drive 4 x 4s. The management end of the business is now highly qualified, experienced and ‘middle-class’. A smallish building site is now worth millions of pounds and dedicated management teams are needed to oversee such high value operations.

Every potential employee is unique and offers different benefits to an employer. Such skills or competencies are not always apparent and even the applicant may be unsure which are relevant to an employer. It is therefore essential for a objective professional to discover these ‘hidden talents’ so that the job-seeker has the best possible chance of obtaining the dream job. Construct-a-CV can provide this objective advice that can change a life. They can and will give their clients a real and unfair advantage over everyone else.
It is well known that a job applicant has about 20 seconds to ‘catch’ an employers’ eye and prevent that CV heading for the bin! For years CVs have been churned out in a fairly standard form. The recruiter sees hundreds of the normal boring pages of job histories. An employer is only really interested in what a member of staff can do for him, not what someone may have done for a competitor. The recruiter needs to see the applicant’s skills that he can turn into profit. A blanket CV will no longer do! Each job is different, so each CV should be tailored to the job.
Construct-a-CV create winning CVs through a thorough knowledge of their clients. Each client is individual, unique and different offering an idiosyncratic and exclusive personality. They build upon the strongest relevant aspects of a life history to create the ultimate in personal marketing.
It will be very interesting to see how long it is before the rest of the CV Writing industry realises that this innovative approach by Construct-a-CV is the path to take for a successful future. CLICK HERE for www.construct-a-cv.co.uk.
