Job-seeking is a competitive process which requires you to take certain steps so that you will stand out from other applicants and clearly show to employers that you are the perfect candidate to fill their job vacancy.
The information found on your CV will quickly inform your potential employer of your most relevant skills, all the experience you have in your desired field and whether your profile matches their job description.

A key goal of creating an effective CV and LinkedIn profile is to catch the attention of a potential employer so that you will be invited to a job interview.
It is important to properly prepare for each job interview, in order to give yourself the best opportunity to make a good first impression and, hopefully, receive an offer of employment.
