Real CVs For Real People provides stimulating and practical guidance to help intelligent people produce a seriously good, winning CV. The aim of writing a CV is generally to get an interview - the first key step to getting a new job. This book is a guide to producing a sane and grown-up CV for presentation to competent and insightful managers. It is for use in a world where there is competition for every job and where CVs at almost any level are computer-processed. It is written by an experienced headhunter with a habit of independent thinking and steeped in practical psychology.

Real CVs For Real People draws on the author's experience that senior managers seem no better than anyone else at writing an effective CV, are often unaware of the strength of competition they face, and tend to be too close to their own lives to see themselves and their careers with cold objectivity.
