Looking for a new senior Telecoms/Tech role in 2015? Get ready for September now.

Are you looking for a new senior role in Telecoms/Technology in 2015? Over 20 years' recruitment and career advice experience tell me that, leaving aside the busy first quarter (January to March), the next best period for recruitment activity is the Autumn (September to November).

New budgets and a new year mean more recruitment activity is instigated in January than any other month. February to May remain busy with activity slowing down towards the end of that period. June, July and August are the slowest months and then September sees a return to higher levels of recruitment.     

Get ready for September now. At the time of writing - the end of June - September is less than ten weeks away; time enough to have your CV re-written and to improve your LinkedIn profile. 

On a personal note I am planning to take some family time in August and will not be working full time, so if you are considering my services I would recommend you getting in touch now so I can work on your CV and LinkedIn profile in July. You will then be ready to get busy with job applications and speculative approaches to companies from the end of the summer.        

I write CV's for senior ICT executives worldwide. Most of my customers are in Telecoms and Technology. All of them recognize that a well-written CV greatly increases their chances of winning interviews and securing a new role. I also offer two unique job-searching service packages which are designed with the senior, international Telecoms/Technology executive in mind; Individually-tailored CV Marketing Campaigns and DJMRO Career Boost - see www.djmro.com for details.    

See my LinkedIn profile, blog and website for more info about who I am and what I do. Contact me today to get started and find a new role in 2015.

Should CVs be written in the third or first person?

The traditional and generally accepted advice was that CVs should be written in the third person, "He did this...", rather than the first person, "I did this...". I write many CVs and have tended to agree with this view; the third person point-of-view can sound more objective and authoritative.

However, lately I have had more clients pick up on the 3rd/1st issue and question it. My customers are increasingly seeing the third person as somewhat false, a bit strange and even arrogant.

Whilst I don't think the third person is that bad, I have come round to the view that the first person is better; more natural, immediate, convincing and honest. From now on, unless customers request otherwise, it is "I" and not "He/She" when I write CVs.
