CV Proofreading  (if I don't fnid it you wo'nt pay for it  ) !


Quite simply if you email me your CV, I proofread it for you.


Many times I hear within recruitment that employers have a method of short listing applications. It was quite simple - one spelling error, one grammatical error in an application and it went into the bin, regardless of the skills and qualifications of the applicant. I still think this is very harsh, but the reply I always hear goes something like this, "a job application should demonstrate the person at their best, if the person cannot take the time to ensure their application is 100% perfect, what are they going to be like on a bad day?"

I hate to admit it - but they have a point.
