How to create a kick-ass CV
Your CV is your marketing document and the first time a prospective employer lays virtual eyes on you.
Yours needs to stand out from the crowd whilst also having the content those reading it need to see.
I’ve worked in the #experientialmarketing #eventprofs and #recruitment sectors for over 20 years now, and let me tell you a secret…
Half the CVs I’ve seen are not a good representation of the awesome candidate on the other side of the words and if they had gone direct to a client, wouldn’t have passed go and certainly wouldn’t have received £200.
CVs are a personal matter, and you’ll get loads of people telling you what you should/shouldn’t do, so it’s a minefield out there.
Me, I’ve imparted 20+ years of specialist advice, knowledge and seeing more CVs than you can shake a stick at, into this handy template for you to download and use as a starting point if things get too stressful.

What People Say
I have felt prepared and informed ahead of every conversation we’ve had and have really appreciated how much he understands the candidate journey and works to mitigate the parts of the process that might otherwise create uncertainty or anxiety.
He does this by setting expectations correctly, and demonstrating clarity, consistency and empathy throughout all of his interactions with you from the very first email.
He’s thorough yet efficient and highly knowledgeable and insightful about the clients he represents.
Recently, I had the privilege of chatting with him and, boy oh boy, did they go above and beyond to give me some top-notch career advice.
Robert is like Batman, always one step ahead of the game, with a deep understanding of the industry and its trends. His advice was spot-on and tailored to my specific needs.
But what sets Robert apart from other recruiters is their ability to combine professionalism with a playful attitude. They’re like Deadpool, serious when they need to be, but never afraid to crack a joke or two.
