OK, so you are now ready to progress, the next step is the production of a quality CV. We can not stress the importance of this document as it is your calling card with any agency you approach and in due course will be the central document in the presentation to a potential future client which might be ERA or a third party.
You will see that a CV creation tool exists
here this has been carefully designed to “force” you to provide vital information including a photograph. If you go this route it has certain advantages.
- A quality CV will be produced in a format we know works
- You can print copies of the CV for your own use
- You can return and edit it at any time
- Within the site is powerful software that cross matches CV’s received to job vacancies on an ongoing basis but the CV must be complete
- Completed CV’s automatically go to a consultant as well
Using this route we are able to operate efficiently and to remain highly competitive in the market place. We feel that the investment of 15 minutes of your time is a small price to gain such advantages but it is up to you.
The alternative strategy which will work for a quality CV is to email it to us directly but please be precise in the following areas
- Position sought – saying sales is useless, be more focused
- Location – Europe is equally useless , be more focussed
- Package – Market rate isn’t helpful , by all means band, the narrower the better
- Contact- how, when etc – include mobile/landline and email address and put your name on the subject line of the email sent.
We are frequently asked are there jobs available and the answer is always yes. For the right candidate.
