Land the job

Write a CV that will open doors to interviews and help you land the job.

Are you a professional / manager looking for a new job but can’t face writing or updating your CV?  

Is there so much information out there on writing a CV that you feel overwhelmed?  

Are you worried about under or overselling yourself? 

You know there’s screening software that might reject your CV before a human gets to read it, but you don’t know how to get through it?  

Does all this make you feel utterly downhearted about writing your CV and stopping you apply for your dream job, or worse, applying half-heartedly?

In this course, I share the key things I have learnt over the years that will get your CV seen, read, and land you an interview.

Who is your teacher?

I’m Laura Harmsworth and I run Caversham CV Writing, a company set up to solely help people in the UK write their CVs, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles, all with the aim of landing an interview for their ideal job.

With a background in recruitment and Human Resources (educated to Masters level and CIPD qualified), I know what employers are looking for.  I’ve personally screened thousands of CVs so know how to get yours on the Yes pile rather than the Reject pile.

I’ve seen too many professionals write their CV as a job description, neglecting to add in their achievements – either because they don’t know they should, can’t remember them, or are worried they’ll come across as arrogant.

I also see CVs that are written in a way that will never get through the screening software or are too hard for the human eye to read.

I’ve written CVs for hundreds of people since 2012 when I set up the company, mostly for professionals/managers, and I’m constantly updating my techniques by keeping up with best practice.

In this course I share the key things I have learnt over the years that will get your CV seen, read, and land you an interview.

What do people say about working with me?

The perfect course for people looking to overhaul their CV

KW, Reading

The CV worksheet template is excellent and I used it to create a brand new CV that looks much more modern, and sells me better than the old CV that I had been updating over the years. With the clear easy to follow steps the course made it easy to ensure that I had included everything that recruiters would need to see in a CV. I also really valued the tips on how professionals and managers can best articulate achievements. Even if you are not actively looking for a job I would recommend completing this course, so that you have a CV ready to go if an opportunity presents itself. The personality tests and skills worksheet are excellent tools for development conversations and appraisals too.
