Career Writing service from Bayt is over estimated, the service is depending on outsourced staff, you will not get any advice from a career consultant on what is the most important section to emphasis, instead the CV writer will repeat your input data (the same as the input you give them in the beginning of the assignment) and may be add some wording to the summary section. I have tried communicating my needs and their response was some pre-formatted templates and cliche. Your better off if you find a freelancer to write your resume/CV !

hello timmeh... your insights are gold!!

[ZahidHussain-wkzl]

Thank you very much, Mr Hatem, your suggestion helps me a lot... keep sharing...

[NajahEddinHamdi]

That was a very well structured video that precisely delivers the info to the audience... I applaud for this great piece of work...
Maybe you can consider talking about the importance of cover letters and even how to properly structure a cover letter.. Also you could look into making some regular (weekly or more) content regarding the growing trends in the job employment community and how to track them using the various tools offered by Bayt.com.
Thank you for the effort and I will make sure to tune in for more from you guys.
Best of luck!

Thanks for this! Can you please explain or give me feedback on what to write after a career break? Should I include this in the cv.

[henriettaehirim]

Thank you so much this will really help me

[frankmaghanga]

Very informative and insightful information. Well appreciated. A question though, looking at the sample attached, and in the spirit of having a short CV, would you recommended listing just 2 key responsibilities/ achievements? I see no information about the company and the reporting-to person, is this recommended. Thanks in advance for your responses.

[hebabehram]

How to prepare a cv for accountant job? How its job description write briefly?

[doncarlin]

Here is a good way to visually see how your CV compares to the job you are interested in is to use a tag cloud generator, such as TagCrowd, side by side. It will show which are the most common keywords on your CV and the job description. Compare what are the most common words on the job description to what are the ones on look for ways to tweak your CV organically to match the job description. It goes without saying but has to be said, don't fudge or exaggerate and certainly don't lie. If you don't have a particular skill or experience, don't put it on your CV period. You don't have to be 100% matching everything to get the job, I've rarely been a 100% match but I was able to leverage my strengths to sell myself.

As for soft skills, it's really better to show, that is, use examples, rather than simply mentioning them on the CV. Instead of saying "Self-starter", use examples that show you are a self-starter.
