HotelierMiddleEast.com recommends five simple tips for job hunters...

 

1. Keep your CV to just two pages long.  Remember to always use a simple layout.

2. Know what you are applying for. Compose a clearly-stated job objective. State what you want to do, for whom, where and at what level of responsibility.

3. Stand out from the crowd. Instead of just listing your job skills, describe the benefits and results of your performance. For each permanent job or staffing assignment develop a list of major accomplishments, placing the greatest emphasis on recent achievements.

4. Companies value employees who enhance their profits and save them time and money — use your CV to explain how you can achieve this.

5. Always proof-read. Make sure your CV and cover-letter are error free, avoid jargon and use plain English.
