Free CV advice
Everything below is free and written for Ireland. Most CV advice online comes from the United States or the United Kingdom, and some of it will quietly work against you here. These are the things that make a difference with Irish employers.
The format Irish employers expect, laid out section by section, and the details that mark a CV out as written for the wrong country.
What screening software does to your CV before a person sees it, which formatting choices break it, and how to lay a CV out so it survives.
A step by step method for getting from a blank page to a finished CV, including the part most people get stuck on.
The three or four lines at the top decide whether the rest gets read. What to put there, what to cut, and six worked examples.
When a cover letter is worth writing, what belongs in each paragraph, and a full worked example you can follow.
For graduates, school leavers and anyone applying for a first job. You have more to write about than you think.
A diagnostic for applications that go nowhere. Work out which stage is failing before you rewrite anything.
Moving into a different field, and making what you have already done read as preparation for it.
