PUT YOUR MINDSET TO WORK: The Asset You Really Need To Win and Keep the Job You Love - by James Reed and Paul G. Stoltz
Some Advice About CVs
CVs matter. It is essential to stand out from the pack or the game is over. Those who make the hiring decisions often make an initial decision in a few seconds. But it gets worse. With the increased use of the miniscreen (smartphones, tablets, etc.), decision makers see less and miss more, making it even tougher to have them appreciate all any candidate has to offer.
Given this brutal reality, how do you make your suitability and mindset glaringly obvious in a CV? James Reed and Dr. Paul Stoltz designed and commissioned an independent study to find out what mistakes to avoid.
Some Findings. False Advice — What Really Doesn’t Work
1. Starting your CV with a personal profile or personal statement
2. Using active verbs 3. Including hobbies and interests
It turns out these tactics actually give no advantage whatsoever!
