feedback on cv please

[Charlieh]

are you self employed to take on short term work, and are you only after tree work? reason I ask is I have a mate near you looking for some help doing fencing etc If its ok with you I will forward your contact info onto him

 

also you havent put if you have a driving license or any chainsaw tickets?

Loads of good points by all the other posters. We get a couple of cvs a week, plus lads knocking on the door in search of work. Sadly we can't employ them all.

 

The people we do get back to supply well written cvs. Spelling errors are a huge downer. We don't require great written skills, but people who can't or don't bother to check simple spelling errors indicate a lack of care. You must understand that your CV may be the only impression that you make on a prospective employee. A poorly written one goes straight in the bin because another one will be in the next post.

 

I'd suggest taking all the suggestions on board, re-write it and email to every tree firm in the yellow pages. A couple of days afterwards, give each firm a call and ensure they received it. Personally, we try to reply to every job enquiry just to acknowledge receipt.

Best of luck in your job search
