Getting it right. Perfecting your CV & covering letter

by on Aug.06, 2011, under Discussion

In a saturated job market, where there are hundreds (if not thousands) of people applying for one job, what gets you noticed?  Is it the pink paper you print your CV on?  Hopefully not…  It is the large font you use to draw attention to your CV? Hopefully not….It’s how well you write your CV and how well you put yourself across in writing. After all, you can’t rely on your good looks and charm to get the job as your CV has to jump the first hurdle successfully!  That’s why it’s so important to get it right.  Particularly if English is not your mother tongue.

You might feel that your level of English is good and that you communicate easily face to face with people you meet.  However the nuances of the written language run deeper than that and if your CV is what makes the first impression when going for a job, surely it’s worth investing in perfecting it.

Learn English London can help.  We specialise in proofreading all kinds of documents, including CVs and covering letters, to ensure that you give yourself the best possible chance when applying for that all important job.  To find out more, email info@lelondon.co.uk
