Reminder that Iโ€™ll be out of the โ€˜officeโ€™ this week enjoying some family time. ๐Ÿฅฐ

One of the most important reasons for hiring a professional CV Writer is that we can help you โ€˜beat the botsโ€™. ๐Ÿค–

Did you know that Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) can be used to screen CVs for keywords from the job description?! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

A good CV Writer (hello, itโ€™s me!) will identify relevant keywords and include them in your CV. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

Weโ€™ll also make sure your CV is formatted in a way that makes it easily readable for ATS. This will give you the best chance of passing the screening process and getting your CV seen by a human! ๐Ÿฅณ

๐Ÿ“ฒ Drop me a message if you have questions or if you need help with you it CV.

BIG NEWS: Iโ€™ll be delivering a FREE online CV Writing Workshop for members of the Military Coworking Network on 14th March! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

If youโ€™re a member of MCN, you can sign up for the workshop here ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ: https://www.militarycoworking.uk/event-details/cv-workshop-with-jenny-byron

If youโ€™re not a member but you are a military spouse or partner, then itโ€™s also free to become an online member. ๐Ÿฅณ

Whoโ€™s in?! ๐Ÿ‘€

23/02/2024

If youโ€™re a member (itโ€™s free!) of the Military Coworking Network, check out my latest article. Itโ€™s all about using AI to write your CV. It might seem tempting, but is it the best way to do it?! ๐Ÿค”

Hint: the answerโ€™s no! ๐Ÿ˜œ

AI (Artificial Intelligence) is a hot topic at the moment, but it does have its drawbacks ...

When it comes to recruitment, Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) have been around for a while.

They certainly make the recruitersโ€™ job easier but AI might not be such a great thing for job seekers. Using AI to write a CV can be useful but it shouldnโ€™t replace the human voice.

Find out why on the MCN Blog. Members can access CV expert Jenny's blog here: https://www.militarycoworking.uk/resources/using-ai-to-write-a-cv.--is-it-worth-it%3F

If you're not a member yet and you're the partner of a veteran, serving person, or reservist you can join our Online Membership for free here: https://www.militarycoworking.uk/online-membership
