In a time of worldwide economic crisis when thousands of people are being made redundant all over the world every day, we at The Career Engineer have started to wonder just how many people are still sending out CV’s and Covering letters to companies just on the off chance.

        

And the answer is simple; when it’s full of pointless words that have no meaning or use. We are sent on average 100 CV’s a week for our free CV review service many of these CV’s are of a very high standard and only really need some minor corrections and changes to make those one or two all important improvements that can mean the difference between being invited for the interview and not being invited.

Retraining courses that claim to provide the skills and qualifications needed to secure a new job have become big business as unemployment has soared above the two million mark.

        

There are strict regulations covering the hours young people can work and the minimum age for working. These laws are in place to ensure young people of school age are protected, their health and safety is looked after and to prevent exploitation. The law states that young people may only do work which isn’t likely to be harmful to the safety, health and development of the person.

        

When writing your own CV it is important to remember a few key things that you should and shouldn’t do, many people make the same mistakes in CV’s and these basic mistakes cost you the chance of getting the interview.
