Switching to a new way of role fulfilment
Career contactors and job hunters worldwide have the challenge of standing out, being spotted in amongst all the other applicants. There are two approaches, the creative one, that’s not everyone’s forte and the structured one, matching skills requirements to candidate skills.
Skills Profile or CV – having recognised skills in a recognised format will quickly allow both employers and employees communicate their abilities and suitability for a role.
Skills Profile or CV - Two Sides of the Equation
The tried and tested way of applying for a job is the CV, a paper printed textual summary of your experience, job roles and hobbies!
This is the way we’ve all worked for decades and therefore its normally a stale and bland approach to getting the job role of your dreams, your encumbered loyalty for 8 hours a day plus until the end of your days (nearly). So why do we approach this in such a vague approach? The use of colour and photos may make the impact you seek but might mask that your skills or potential whilst a dull typeface and badly formed grammar should not reflect on the job you’re applying for.
The Creative CV
The creative CV is a sub category of the Portfolio. The creative arts and roles within often require a portfolio of work to demonstrate the candidates abilities.
A visual communication of historical work that a employer can evaluate the skills and experience, effectively confirming the facts from the CV.
The candidate may need a portfolio but this is a secondary process of recruitment, the candidate still needed to get his name noticed, they still needed to match the basic requirements. They still needed to be shortlisted to make the portfolio stages.
The Key
In any situation whether its a creative, technical or management role there will be skills that are essential to the success of the job and the business service it supports. Having a structured easily searchable CV means that you or they can be quickly identified, evaluated and short listed for interview.
Having a common understanding of the skills, there descriptions and considerations for success means that you as an individual or you or as a business can save time and money in this process
