CV Tip
Don’t just list your ‘Responsibilities’ on your CV. List your “Achievements”.
For example: if you are looking for jobs in Event Management or as an Event Organiser; Venue Search, Budget Management are day to day “Responsibilties”. People reading your CV expect to see these items if you are an Event Manager. You should write in more detail; Numbers are as important as Words. How much were the budgets? How many events have you managed at one time? How many people or suppliers are you managing?
Most important in these times, with 2.5 million people unemployed, is, to make sure you STAND OUT from every other CV that competes with yours!! You need to list “Career Achievements” these are what SET YOU ASIDE from the pile.
For example: Principle Achievement
- As an Event Manager, I am not responsible for New Business or Account Management; however, I generated £10,000 in Account Management event revenue from cold calling a lapsed client, and £15,000 from attending a networking event and prosecting a brand new client.
