Careers Advice

How do I write a stand out CV? We know writing a CV can seem like a big, ugly task, especially if it’s been a while. But there are lots of tips online on how to create the perfect CV to wow employers. Here are our top three:

• Mirror. Yes, keep a generic version of your CV, but make sure that you are applying at least a few tweaks to tailor it for the role you are applying for. Mirror the specific tasks and responsibilities in the job description with your experience. This will help us know that you are the right match.
• Stand out. Your CV should feel as unique as you are! Even if you are using a template, make sure that you demonstrate your unique blend of skills and experience. Where you can use specific examples to help your CV stand out!
• Keep it simple. Style is great. In fact, we love a bit of flare, but don’t sacrifice substance for sparkle! Check your spelling and punctuation. Give it to someone else to check. And then double check! It happens to us all, but there is nothing worse than a tyop! And unless you are applying to be a graphic designer, it might be best to keep the layout and fonts simple – readability is key!

Got an interview? Go you! Again, there are so many tips out there on how to dazzle employers, but here are just a few that we think are most important when applying to join the SpaMedica team:

• Do your research. You’ll find plenty of information about us on our website, so make sure you have a look around. Not only will this help to ensure that we are the right company for you, but you could really impress at the interview by showing you know a little about us!
• Be yourself. At SpaMedica we love personality, we know that it’s easier said than done when those nerves kick in, but we want to get to know you to make sure we can help you reach your future goals.
