CVs 'are an advertisement for the candidate'

IT job applicants should remember that their CV is a self-marketing tool and use it to best effect, it has been suggested.

Writing on punchng.com, Ime Umoren pointed out that many people do not consider crafting a resume to be a difficult task, but making a mistake can reduce the chances of them securing a job.

He recommended that jobseekers tailor their CV to each vacancy they are interested in, as this will paint them in the best possible light for recruiters.

'The sole function of the well-written resume is to convince potential employers that the person is the perfect candidate for the job you seek,' the commentator wrote.

Mr Umoren added that IT job applicants should include information on their CV which will introduce their qualifications and skills to the recruiter and demonstrate that they are able to fill the position.

Last week, an article in the Guardian recommended that candidates invest in good quality materials to make sure their CV is presented well, but advised them against using too many bright colours or distracting pictures.
