You can send your
CV to us in several ways.
- Preferred
Method:- email
it as an attached document in Microsoft
WORD format (any version). If you do not know how to send
attached documents from your email application see its appropriate
help page.
- If you are unable
to email your CV, you can either post a copy or if possible
forward a 3.5" disk containing your CV to our head
office. See the Contact Information
Page for our Head Office address.
Unfortunately, we are unable to register faxed CV's due
to poor reproduction quality.
REGISTRATION
AND CURRICULUM VITAE DETAILS
It costs you nothing to register with Sure
Employment. You do not pay us a fee at any time. If you
start 'temping', no fee for Sure Employment is deducted from
your wages.
The
majority of our clients and jobs are Sussex, England based and
as such we can only register applicants who are able to attend
interviews in Sussex at short notice. The majority of our clients
do not pay interview expenses so attending interviews
is at the applicant's own expense.
Together with your CV you should include a covering letter containing
as much information as possible about what you are looking for,
together with your Salary Requirements.
Curriculum Vitae Guidelines
- Keep your CV
short. Two or three pages are sufficient. CV's which are
over several pages in length are too long - they
will not be read by clients!
- Try to avoid
using boxes, borders, fancy or small fonts, italics or coloured
paper - these will cause problems if your CV is photocopied
or scanned. A simple, well thought out and presented CV
on plain white paper in a good size font is ideal. Try to
use laser printing - dot matrix, photocopies, faxes, or
poor inkjet printing also causes problems.
- Start your
CV with a short profile of yourself. Give specific
details of your achievements, current duties and past skills
together with your aims and targets for the future. Keep
this simple and to the point.
- Try to avoid
writing long sentences and paragraphs to detail your
previous employment, qualifications and skills. List
your key skills and experiences wherever possible as
clients do not have the time to read through non-relevant
details in order to extract your skills and abilities. Clients
will only scan through your CV initially, so it is best
to make the most important information stand out.
- Ensure you
list what office/administration skills you have and
what specific software you have used.
- List your previous
employment and education in reverse chronological order
(put your present or most recent position first). Make sure
there are no gaps in your history since leaving school.
Always put something in, even if you were unemployed or
in education.
Registration Process
Please register with us using the registration
form. Then send
us your CV. When we are in receipt of your
emailed or posted CV, we will assess your suitability for any
positions currently registered with us. In some cases, a brief
synopsis of your CV and a short consultant's profile will be
marketed to our appropriate clients. Please note: to avoid any
potential embarrassment and problems, we ensure that none of
your personal details or current position details are included
in our marketing. Please make a note on your covering letter
(or email) if you wish to be omitted from our marketing, or
if there are certain companies who you do not want you details
forwarded to. |
