East Dulwich, London -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/02/2012 -- You have seen your perfect job and you think that you are the right person for it. What next? Write a CV and Covering Letter, send them in and wait for the reply. How can you increase your chances when writing that CV or resume?

Why is it that when two similar candidates who apply for the same job, one is interviewed and one is not. The answer can often be simply found by looking at the application or CV. Many people may think that they are ideally suited for a particular position with all the necessary qualifications and experience but continue to fail at securing interviews. More often than not a quick glance of the CV will tell all. It is hard to effectively write about oneself and most people at poor at it. Often people prefer to list qualities rather than write any tangible evidence of their achievements. This is a key failing.

The hiring manager must be able to see a direct correlation with what the candidate has done in the past and be able to see how this could benefit their company or team in the future. Transferable skills are all well and good, but how will they improve the new company? Does the CV show how the company will benefit the individual or the other way around?

There is a great deal of subtleties in the writing a good CV, and it is often best to get some expert advice. A CV review is an extremely cost effective way to give your career a boost, with the potential annual income increasing substantially. A well written CV can really have an impact on the career you find yourself in, and perhaps more importantly the options that you have available to you.

Covering letter writing has always been a minefield of personal tastes and industry caveats however, the answer has arrived.

London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/26/2012 -- The importance of covering letters has ebbed and flowed over the years, mirroring that of the unemployment figures. In today's economy, with millions unemployed, the race to gain interviews for any worth while company is in full flow. As an increasingly large number of prospective employees jostle for positions companies in turn have brought in new measures to weed out the weakest candidates and short list the strongest. The CV has, and always will be, the corner stone of the selection process however; now, more and more emphasis is being placed on the covering letter. It no longer serves as merely an introduction but a demonstration of ones written work and of ones research. It shows how the applicant has researched the company and can show that he or she is the right cultural fit for the team. As for the written side it offers the only real example of your communication skills prior to an interview. If the role has an element of writing or if the candidate is expected to interact with the public, the written word is paramount and hence covering letters are analysed for mistakes and content worth.

There a couple of companies which offer a covering letter writing service and they have had there uses. They main disadvantage is that these companies are more like writing factories that churn out a huge number of general letters rather than anything specific. Adducology, the careers consultancy, offers something a little different. It has a number of consultants all with a huge depth of knowledge. The main difference being that they have this knowledge firmly based in the industries for which they advise. There are experts in everything from Law to Project Management, and Design to Retail. This is what sets them apart as a consultancy and this is why the candidates with an Adducology covering letter do so well. Each person is set up with there own consultant, an expert in that field, and the help tailor a covering letter for the specific company for which that person wishes to apply.

It is always far more productive to send out just a few well written, focus and personal covering letters than to send out 50 general ones. There is a huge amount of advice on all parts of the job hunting process at Adducology and the consultants there are only to happy to answer your questions. To set your career off to a flying start take a good look at their products.

East Dulwich, London -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/19/2012 -- Writing a CV can be a daunting process but it is one of the most important documents that you will ever need to write. Find out some of the key areas to get right from our panel of experts.

Curriculum vitae (CV) derives directly from the Latin and means 'the course of one's life', and put simply, that is what it is. When you write a CV you need to detail your past in a short and logical manor, which is directly relevant to your desired future. This point is key, and when writing, it is important to have your end point in mind. Every section of one's CV should appear as a prerequisite for the role for which you are applying. This can be a tricky concept to manage if your past roles are not directly related to your next desired step. In these circumstances it is best to consult and expert on CV writing and careers.

Here we will look at some of the fundamentals and give you some of the knowledge to write and amazing CV. Research conducted for Adducology, a careers consultancy, has identified several essential areas to focus on when planning and writing. The first we will look at is relevance. A CV or resume must be relevant to the role for which you are applying, and as such it is advisable to adapt your writing style and content for each and every role for which you apply. Peter Denis, a senior consultant at Adducology with a long career in Project Management says, 'nine out of ten CVs which he reviews are completely out of date and written for a role for which the person is not applying', he goes on to detail the fact that most people don't like writing about themselves. To write about oneself is hard enough and when you are affectively trying to sell yourself to an employer it can be even harder. Most people prefer to list achievements without trying to sell their worth and this is the second major mistake when CV writing.

The third of our top three problems with resume writing is poor English skills. Poorly placed grammar, a spelling mistake or bad structure can have a serious affect on how the CV is perceived by the reader. Studies have shown that even if your qualifications and experience is right for the job a couple of mistakes on a CV can cost you your opportunity for an interview. This relationship is experiential when measured with the number of applications. So what can be done? Well it is always worth getting a second opinion, although it is often hard to find someone who is both non-biased and has experience in your line of work. A good starting point would be the consultants at Adducology, they all have significant experience in industry and have hired for themselves. These consultants can help to create a targeted and well written CV that has all the attributes and includes all the necessary content to secure you a top interview.

East Dulwich, London -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/06/2012 -- In recent years with the introduction of tuition fees university positions are becoming increasingly hard to secure. With more A Level students than ever before applying for university the UCAS personal statement is now more important than ever. The UCAS personal statement is the one opportunity that you have prior to the interview where you can put across your personality and drive. You must explain why you want to study the course you are applying for. If you mention your personal interests and hobbies, try to link them to the skills and experience required for the course. The UCAS personal statement could be used as the basis for an interview, so be prepared to answer questions on it. This may be your only written work that the course tutor sees before making a decision: make sure it is organised and literate. Get the grammar, spelling and punctuation right. This is where the experts at Adducology come into their own, with a number of proof reader and experts on the UCAS application process they are able to give you some excellent advice. A statement filled with errors will give a negative impression of your skills and the effort you have put in to being accepted. To put your mind at rest speak to one of the Adducology consultants about the UCAS personal statement review or the Oxbridge UCAS personal statement review services.

There are a number of areas in these concise statements that you must ensure that you get right in order to give you the very best chance of gaining your desired university place. How to describe your interests and hobbies, achievements and awards in a way that makes them relevant to your chosen course are fundamental. Further complications start if you are wishing to apply for a joint course or if you are applying from overseas. Your course choice may be a natural progression from what you have previously studied or it may be something completely different. How you link this all together in your UCAS personal statement is what Adducology specialise in.

Writing about yourself is probably not something you do very often, so you might need to practise writing in this particular style. It is a good idea to list your hobbies and achievements, and then you can decide which ones demonstrate your strongest skills and personality. Coming to the end of A Levels and applying to University can be a challenging time for anyone. We aim to take some of the stress out of this difficult process and give you a head start. Offering a range of products, from UCAS Statement Reviews to University Interview Training, we aim to give you the peace of mind and confidence you need at this time.
