A online aptitude assessment employs a sequence of questions concerning an individual’s interests, his or her manner of working, and the way he or she interacts with others.

By learning more about yourself and about a variety of career fields, you can just find the perfect job match.

Are Executive CVs Any Different to Typical CVs?

The short answer to this is that they should be if you want your applications to be successful.

Executive employers are very discerning and demand more from candidates – average, mediocre or even good CVs usually isn’t enough. This applies all the way through the job application process, of which your CV is a major and integral component.

Yes, executive CVs need to be different – competition is stronger, what you say and how you present it will be scrutinised more, and if that isn’t enough you still have to stand out from the rest of the (formidable) crowd.

All in all, it’s a tall order, but it isn’t impossible for you to shine.

So what type of things do you need to consider?

Firstly, your CV needs to make the right first impression – it should be slick, professional, presentable, clear and legible. It should also be a good length. If you want to stand out from the crowd then nothing stands out more than a one-page CV, which is one reason why the few CV companies capable of writing top quality one page CVs are very much in demand. It’s no mean feat to impressively sell an executive to blue chip employers in just one page, and especially when you consider that most executives have more work experience and more achievements to shout about than the average man or woman in the street. Even so, the very best CV writers can do this, and do it very powerfully. Significantly, when it is done really well your CV will not only stand out more from the crowd, but frequently it will also be more focussed, better targeted and ultimately harder hitting.

Another thing you really need to do far more effectively than your average Joe Bloggs is to really sock it to the employer when it comes to selling yourself. As mentioned, competition is fierce at executive/director level, and you can be sure that you are competing against others with considerable experience and noteworthy achievements. So you need to make sure that your sales message is louder, stronger and higher impact. Some people make the mistake of trying to force the issue, using big fonts, and underlining text etc. However, that frequently just comes across as artificial and does little to make your CV more professional looking. What you really need to do is keep your message clear, neat and professional, whilst at the same time wording things so that it comes across in a much more proactive, higher impact manner than standard CVs. The best CV writers can say more in fewer words, and that is what you should be aiming too if you really want to impress at executive level.

Of course, not everyone wants to engage a professional writer, and if you prefer to write your own curriculum vitae then for executive positions you really should be aiming at two pages maximum, as well as taking the above advice into consideration. If you do, just be aware that it is likely that most of your executive level competitors will be trying to gain the upper hand with a professionally written CV, so if you are going down the DIY route you had better be confident in your CV writing ability as you will be not only be up against excellent candidates, but excellent candidates with vastly experienced specialist writers at their side.

Preparing for the SAT Test

The preparation for the SAT Exam can be nerve-wracking. It is an important factor that can determine your future success or failure. If you get a high SAT score, then the best schools in the country will look at your application in a better light. On the other hand, a low SAT score can make it a challenge to find a good university. It is not surprising that some students prepare for months, even one year in advance, in order to pass this test.

Formerly known as the Scholastic   Aptitude   Test , the SAT Reasoning Test is a standardized examination that determines a student’s capability to take up higher education in the United States. The College Board, a non-profit educational organization is responsible for the development and publication of this test. The Educational Testing Service used to handle these services but it now only administers the SAT exam.

The concept of standardized testing for college was first introduced in 1901. It has evolved several times since them. Its name, scoring method, and test types have changed drastically. The latest format of the SAT takes three-hours and 45 minutes to complete. Scores can range from as low as 600 to as high as 2400. Each section is given a weighing of 800, divided into the following:

Reading Section – includes Sentence Completions and Reading Comprehension

Writing Section – includes Grammar and Essay Writing

Math Section – testing type is multiple choice and Grid-in

There is a newly introduced “Experimental Section”. But right now, it is not yet scored. The time allotted for the exam is extremely limited. But working too quickly isn’t recommended by educational experts. It can significantly damage your test score because SAT exams are characterized by its subtle points. In addition, most math questions have a catch.

The key is to read each question carefully and ensure that you understand it. In some cases, you simply will not know the answer. Some professors recommend doing an “elimination process” if it’s a multiple choice question. For example, if you are sure that several of the options are wrong, consider the remaining ones as your only options. If you still don’t have an answer, move on to the next question and go back to this one later.

It is important to recognize that unlike in the usual class examination, most people perform well in the SAT exam, not because they try to solve every problem, but that they answer a significant number of questions correctly.

CV Writing - Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Creating a CV is central to the search for a job, but is something most of us hate doing. For some reason, this crucial skill is not an obligatory part of the UK school or college curriculum and very few young people are adept at presenting themselves in the best possible light.

One of the biggest mistakes most people make is sending out the same CV for every application. It’s a big temptation – you’ve spent hours getting the details and layout just right, or perhaps you’ve paid a considerable amount of money to have someone write it professionally. The trouble is, each CV needs to be tailored to the job in question, and it’s vital that you do this if you want to stand out from the crowd.

What does tailoring a CV mean? It simply means writing it specifically for the post you are targeting. To do this you must recognise the keywords the employer will be looking for and relate them to your own experience. Keywords will be found in the job description and person specification, or in the job advertisement and on the company website. They describe the skills, qualifications and experience needed for the post. Keywords should stand out on your CV – don’t forget that in the first round of the selection process, CVs are usually only given a 20 second glance. So if the interviewer doesn’t see what he’s looking for, your CV is destined for the shredder.

Here’s an example: let’s say you are a secretary who speaks several languages and can take shorthand in all of them, but are applying for a job in an office where only English and audio are used. Languages and shorthand, impressive as they are, would not be the most prominent skills on your CV. Instead, you would focus on the skills required, which might be fast typing, advanced Excel or PowerPoint. Languages and shorthand would be mentioned briefly, perhaps under the heading “Additional Skills.”

Another common mistake, usually made by older applicants, is including their entire work and educational history. It’s usual for CVs to go back only 10 years in terms of work and if you have a degree, school qualifications can be omitted, unless specifically requested or relevant. Employers occasionally ask for a full CV, in which case you do have to include everything.

Choosing the wrong format can also condemn your CV to the bin – different styles work best in specific situations. Many people stick to the chronological CV, but this is not always the most appropriate. It works well if you have been steadily progressing up the ladder in a particular career, or if your most recent jobs are likely to impress the company you hope to work for.

A skills-based or functional CV is great if you have gaps in your work history, as you can use it to highlight the fact that you have exactly the skills the employer is looking for. It’s also useful if you are moving to a new career or area of work and your work experience isn’t completely relevant.

A targeted CV is aimed at a precise job or career, for example, if you retrained as a teacher in your 30s or 40s and are applying for a teaching post, your work-related heading might be “Teaching Experience” and your main skills would all be relevant to teaching, such as using IT in the classroom and curriculum development. For soft skills, such as communication skills and team work, you would use examples from your teaching career.

You may need to have different styles of CV for different applications. If we use the previous example of the secretary, she might have had a series of language related jobs and is now applying for linguist and non linguist posts. She could choose a chronological CV for the language jobs and a functional CV for the others.

To sum up, individualise every CV for the job concerned, choose the most suitable format for the situation and remember: keywords must jump out at the reader in the first 20 seconds.

Professional CV - Simple Tips and Tools to Make You a Job Winner

If you are looking for a job, then it is important that you have to know how to describe yourself to an employer with the best way. A “C.V.” (Curriculum Vitae – Latin for “life story”), called in some countries a “resume”, is quite simple tool to promote yourself to the hiring person. The purpose of the C.V. is to make you attractive, interesting, worth considering to the company and so receive you for a job interview afterward. An employer can have number of resumes submitted for a single position so he or she will consider a few people who clearly appear suitable for the job interview.

Why does Professional C.V. increase chance on getting a job?

You may have heard someone said over and over that your resume has just 15 or 30 seconds to impress a hiring manager and make that person to call you for the interview. Right?

Wrong!

You don’t have that much time. You have only a blink of an eye for your C.V. to impress readers. You have about 3 seconds to impress most recruiters and hiring managers. Thus, the emotional impact on your resume that occurs within the first 3 seconds is critical. The hiring managers usually make up their mind based on emotions whether or not your resume is worthy of consideration, then use “logic” to justify their initial decision.

The must things that you should combine in your C.V

• Personal details:



Name, home address, college address, phone number, email address, date of birth have to be included. If you have your own web homepage (that’s good one) include it then. If your name does not appear if you are male or female, include this!



• Education:



Provide study places of your education. Begin with the most recent degree and identify your subject options taken each year with special project, thesis, or dissertation work.



• Working experience:



Provide most recent work experience with the employer name, company name, and job title. The most crucial part is to identify what you actually did and achieved in that job. Relevant part-time job should also be included.



• Interests:



The employer often concern on what will be your particularly interested activities because it can represent your leadership or responsibility you may have. Besides, if you used to be involved with any type of volunteer works, provide the details.



• Skills:



If you have ability in other languages, computing experience or other relevant skill provide those details on the resume.

Another strategy to catch up your potential employers looking at your C.V. is to use “Power Words” or “Verbs” that match the level of applied position. Generally, the employers make snap judgments when glancing at your resume. If they see unrelated job titles or skills then immediate assumption will be concluded that you are not qualified for the job you want. Adding to this problem is the fact that employers do not have time to read through each of your job descriptions to determine if you have the skills they need. So, make your strong work experience, skill or education related to the applied position highlighted for catching up the first glance through your potential employers.
