Recommended Posts

In a small practical industry like arb, everyone seems to know everyone and large HR departments are rarities, it seems CV's are not really relative.

 

Do you rate a CV?

 

Do you read CV's or is a letter/email/phone call more important?

 

If you do value CV, if so what do you look for in a CV?

 

Any particular CV Gripes (Too many pages/pictures etc)

 

Looking for advice, from an employer / manager’s perspective.

I think a CV is definitely relevant for a consultant position.

 

Having a good technical knowledge of arboriculture is one thing (essential) but also useless if you are not able to successfully communicate. A CV shows a prospective employer that you are able to communicate clearly.

 

There's a skill to concisely summing up all your skills and experience on two sides of A4 - not dissimilar to the skill needed to write a good tree report.

 

I'd agree that CVs are unnecessary for a cutting job though.
