A CV is, by its very name, a product of the past; it’s time to be innovative and modernise
Mat Gibson of Chase Taylor Recruitment explains why people in the industry, who after 20 years of working, don’t have a CV but still want the opportunity to enhance their career… “I speak to a lot of people every day in the window and door industry and what comes out time and time again is that people who have been working for 20 years simply don’t have a CV; find the prospect of writing one tiresome; and don’t believe that it could possibly represent accurately what that have achieved in any case. “Fine, I totally agree. The CV by its very name is a dated document. It becomes less significant the more experienced you become. I wholly accept that if you have worked at a company for 10 years, a CV is unlikely to truly do justice to your achievements, and if you are 50 years old does it really matter how many O-levels you have got? “We know that there are lots of highly skilled and very dedicated people in our industry who don’t take the opportunity to develop and progress their careers simply because the time and effort it takes to write a CV deters them from making a start. We believe our new way of working will open those doors up and give everybody the chance to access new opportunities in an industry that continues to offer excellent rewards for the right people. “The ‘One Page Me’ will help us to get to the real skills, personality and achievements of our candidates, and it will help the large number of people out there who don’t have a CV to realise that there is a way for them to start the process of taking their career forward.” For more details or to simply complete your own ‘One Page Me’ document ring Chase Taylor Recruitment of 01543 404646.
