I have a special offer for Executive CV-writing for the remainder of January 2012; the fee for the CV service is reduced to just £89 for bookings received and paid by 31/1/12.

Before becoming a Career Consultant I worked in senior recruitment for 18 years so I know what recruiters look for in a CV. I know how to write a CV that will get you noticed. CV-writing is all about decisions: what to include, what to leave out, how to describe someone without resorting to cliché. I can help you present yourself properly on paper (and your new CV can be used as the basis for your Linkedin profile).

Most - although not all - of my CV customers are international executives in Telecoms, Technology and Mining, but in reality it doesn't matter what sector you are in - I will still be able to greatly improve your CV.

Get in touch today and get a CV that works hard for you.

Very best regards,

Energise Your Telecoms Career in 2012

2012-01-15T12:15:00.005Z

In Telecoms or Technology and looking for a new career challenge in 2012? I can help energise your career through my unique career services - which are especially aimed at professionals in the Telecoms and Technology sectors:

CV-writing - Individually-tailored CV Marketing Campaigns - DJMRO Career Boost

Traditional agencies work for - and are paid by - end employers. They are usually disinclined to work closely with individual candidates. DJMRO is different. Candidates and not end employers are my customers. DJMRO is a new concept in career advice which places the candidate job-seeker in the driving seat. I champion our customers; writing excellent CVs that strongly sell their experience and marketing them to their preferred sectors and geographies utilising my extensive global contacts list in the Telecoms and Technology sectors.

Customers work with me for three main reasons: my extensive global contacts list within the Telecoms & Technology sectors, my deep recruitment knowledge (I have enjoyed a successful senior recruitment career dating back to 1993) and my English writing skills.

Here's what I offer:

1/ CV-writing. I write CVs especially for Telecoms and Technology professionals. My CV-writing service includes a detailed initial phone consultation and unlimited subsequent amendments to make your CV just right. My CVs powerfully show-case your experience. The CV-writing service is priced at just £99 (UK).

2/ Individually-tailored CV Marketing Campaigns. This is a unique service that will enable you to aggressively target the jobs market and secure interviews and job offers within the Telecoms and Technology sectors. End employers have no fees to pay and, as a result, senior contacts around the world are talking to me and waiting to receive my customers’ CVs.

The service includes:

a/ A new, professionally written CV that sells your experience in a tough economic climate.
b/ Your CV put in front of the key contacts in the companies and geographies that interest you (up to around 100 targets researched and contacted with your CV).
c/ Your CV mailer followed-up by email/phone calls/social media messages.
d/ A full year of intensive career support: I will work closely with you for a full year to generate ideas and action to get you interviews and job offers. This will include brainstorming and advice sessions. Customers will also be able to utilize my writing and research skills.

I am now taking on clients for the first quarter of 2012. The cost? Just £299 (UK) for this unique service.

3/ DJMRO Career Boost. This is our premier service and includes the following:

a/ A new CV (service as above)
c/ An Individually-tailored CV Marketing Campaign (service as above)
d/ An intensive interview practice session (face-to-face or using Skype video call)
I'll help you with real time interview practice, playing devil's advocate and honing your interview skills.
e/ Career advice and assistance for a full year
We work very closely with our DJMRO Career Boost clients, building winning relationships. I'll be on call anytime you need career advice or practical career-based assistance.

The full 12 month DJMRO Career Boost service is priced at just £499 (UK). I believe that this is a very competitive price for such a unique career service which is aimed specifically at professionals in the Telecoms and Technology sectors.

To get started or to discuss any service message me on Linkedin or phone/email.

I look forward to hearing from you - let's energise your telecoms career together in 2012.

DJMRO: A New Approach to Executive Job Hunting in the Telecoms, Tech and Mining Sectors

2011-11-28T12:18:00.011Z

There's lots of exciting news from my career advice and CV-writing business DJMRO (the initials stand for "Darren John Manning Resumes & Outplacement").For some time I have been thinking about ordinary recruitment agencies and how their offering is such poor value to both the candidate and the end employer alike. The candidate usually gets poor service and a real lack of care and attention. The end employer gets to pay a large fee for having received a CV.

DJMRO is different. I guess you would call us a pro-active career advice company. Not only do we write excellent CVs for mid to senior level executives in all sectors (but especially those in telecoms, technology and mining) but also we pro-actively market our candidate customers to their preferred target sectors and world regions.

We call this service "Individually-tailored CV Marketing Campaigns".

I have nearly 20 years of recruitment experience (the last seven years mostly in the telecoms, technology and mining sectors). I know hundreds of senior end employer contacts and how to approach them with your CV. Check out the website for more info.

End employers are already taking notice and are contacting me to request CVs. Of the first handful of CV Marketing Campaign customers I took on, two already have new jobs, two have interviews through my efforts and the rest are being actively marketed to my extensive and growing contacts list in international telecoms, technology and mining. This package costs just £299 (UK)and also includes a new CV. If you are in telecoms, technology or mining then get in touch and see how I can help you get the role you deserve.

If you'd just like to get your CV up-to-speed then I can help with that too. My CV service includes a detailed initial phone consultation and an unlimited number of revisions/fine-tuning. The cost is just £99 (UK). A small fee for such a vital document.

All best, Darren Manning

A Short History of the CV

2009-07-10T12:34:00.002+01:00

When did people start using a Curriculum Vitae or CV as an introduction
to a prospective employer? Before we discuss that, a quick disambiguation (as Wikipaedia says); for the purposes of this post the “curriculum vitae” or CV, and the “resume”, are one and the same thing.

The CV, in the UK, is a decidedly modern document which started life after the Second World War and gradually grew in importance, but only really took off, becoming the norm, from the mid 1980s. If one studies historical job ads from The Times Online, it is striking to note that the vast majority of employers do not request a CV even as late as 1982.

Going much further back in time; job ads from around 1800 ask the applicant to apply in person for more junior posts or perhaps by letter for professionals. By the start of the 20th century this still holds true although requests for letters of application are more common for more junior roles too. We have to move to the 1950s to see a kind of proto-CV request; by this time applicants are instructed to apply by letter but “including full details of experience”. This formula is still the norm in the 1960s when applicants are also commonly told to write including “full particulars” of experience.

In the 1970s one sees the arrival of application forms for many vacancies although many job ads still request a letter from candidates with no mention of a CV. A phone call is now also commonly requested. Only in the 1980s does one generally encounter job ads that ask candidates to send a curriculum vitae.

In the USA it is argued that the one page “resume” was seriously boosted by the arrival home from the Second World War of hundreds of thousands of servicemen. These soldiers, sailors and aircrew were demobbed from 1945, and many immediately began to seek work. Employers were overwhelmed with applications and so they encouraged applicants to write a one page resume so they could quickly assess the suitability of the job seeker.

In previous eras CVs were simply not used. In feudal Europe and later up to the early modern age, the travelling guild journeyman would carry a letter of introduction from his master. Widespread illiteracy meant that most people could not write a CV. Lack of job market flexibility meant that most people did not need a CV; people stayed where they were born on the whole and job “applications” – when people didn’t just do as their fathers had done – consisted of personal contacts. As Social Theorist Max Weber says in “The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism” (1904/1905), workers in pre-capitalist institutions understood work in terms of personal relationships between master and journeyman in a guild; or between lord and peasant in a manor.

Even in the capitalist age there was a lack of job mobility until relatively recently in the later 20th century. CVs need a mobile, educated labour force to exist and, of course, the IT revolution has enabled and facilitated the growth of the CV.
