Your CV: A Plain-Speaking Guide

Streetwise, no-nonsense writer Robert Ginger has used his experience of both sides of the job-hunting process - as applicant and recruiter - to produce a thorough, step-by-step guide to writing every section of a CV. General careers advice and a section on cover letters are included. The author mentions the murkier aspects of work that most other writers ignore, and if he thinks the "CV experts" are wrong, he isn't afraid to say so. This refreshing honesty and the straightforward, user-friendly writing style are what set this book apart from others. Whether you're applying for your first job or your twenty-first, and whatever type of work you're looking for, this book will lead you through the process of writing a CV that will advertise your abilities as effectively as possible, and give you the best chance of securing that crucial interview.
