Careers

Neil and guests discuss why it's important to emphasise achievements and tailoring CVs to job descriptions, and why using third-person language is a mistake. They stress the importance of avoiding spelling mistakes and using clear, non-acronym-laden language, and highlight the significance of transferable skills and being honest about one's abilities. The conversation also touches on the role of applicant tracking systems and why a short but clear CV is best.

In this episode, ACCA Careers editor Neil Johnson chats to recruitment consultants Karen Young, director at Hays and Gareth Cowan, co-founder at Trace Recruitment about getting your foot in the door.
