Hello Everyone,
Is there considered to be a particular format for senior HR CVs? Are personal statements still relevant or is listing achievements preferred?
Any advice would be appreciated as it has been a while since I have had to update my CV.
Thank you
Omar
I agree with the comments above. You will likely turn a recruiter/hiring manager off with listing qualities you believe they are looking for. However I do have a short personal statement, and I recruiters get in touch!
Why do I use a personal statement. Because I back what I'm saying. Easy things to back up are years of experience in the area, professional qualifications/grades/professional memberships/awards. What's the best advice I have had? Put in a testimonial at the bottom from a HRD, Functional Director, MD or CEO. Try not to sell yourself. Get someone else to do it.
Full disclosure, I am a mid leveler (HRBP) not senior HR.
