The client
Greg was working as a Mechanical Foreman and was keen to move into a more senior position in the construction sector. Opportunities with his current employer were limited, so he knew that he’d have to look elsewhere for his next role.
The problem
Greg had been working in the same industry for 16 years and had been with the same employer for the last eight. He hadn’t needed a CV since he got his first job at the age of 16 and didn’t know
where to start with writing one
! He had many years’ experience that needed condensing into a professional document that would generate interviews.
The solution
As Greg didn’t have an existing CV for me to work from, I arranged an extended
consultation
with him. During the call, we discussed his career aspirations, his previous roles and responsibilities and his values. Importantly, we also covered his
career successes
and identified what would set him apart from other candidates applying for the same roles.
The result
I produced a concise, one-page CV that summarised Greg’s career, value and leadership skills. His feedback was: “Looks great. Everything looks like it’s been covered. Very happy with that thank you”. Two weeks later he contacted me to say that, following several interviews, he was expecting a formal job offer!
