It has been many years since I had a CV (2008, to be precise), and I find myself needing one for a job I've been after for years.
There's a local company who I have wanted to work for for ages, but they haven't been advertising for jobs in my area of expertise... until now. And not only that, they appear to be looking for people, rather than for roles (their website says they are looking to recruit in my area at all levels). This suits me perfectly, as it means there isn't a long check-list of requirements, but it means more you need to prove that you're a good fit for them, rather than for something very specific.
I've recruited recently, but at a junior level (graduate), so I've seen a wide variety of CVs at that grade, but not from my peers. I'm pretty sure things have moved on in the years since I last put myself out there, and my CV shouldn't just be a list of roles.
I can, of course, google this, and any number of CV templates comes up. But I'd be interested to hear from people who see CVs from senior level people all the time as to how I should construct it.
My career experience is 2 grad-type jobs, a successful period of self employment (in a field totally unrelated to the rest of my career, but still interesting) culminating in the sale of my (retail) business, a few years working my way through a number of roles at one organisation and latterly 10 years at the same company in a senior role. I didn't have a CV for the last one, as they approached me (I was their client).
I feel I've got one chance to land a job I can see myself doing for another 10 years. How do I structure my CV to make them take notice?
(It's a marketing-related field).
