In a clear sign of the tough economic times, there has been an upsurge in ‘gifts that keep on giving’ this Christmas: and among the popular and novel ideas is the gift of a brand new Curriculum Vitae.
“People seem to be looking for practical gifts this Christmas, and many have realised that for people searching for jobs or promotions, a professionally-produced CV is an extremely practical and thoughtful prsent. It stands to the recipient for years to come, and could help them get or keep their feet on the career ladder,” said Liam Horan, Career Coach with SliNuaCareers.com, a career training company based in the west of Ireland.
“Unfortunately, most people don’t sell themselves well in their CVs, and quite often an excellent candidate can have their true value obscured by a poorly-written, poorly-presented CV.
“Our gift vouchers are proving extremely popular as people see it as a novel, yet valuable, present to give to someone they love. In many ways, it truly is the gift that keeps on giving.”
Enquiries about SliNuaCareers.com gift vouchers can be made to 094 95 4265 /091 528 883, or on SliNuaCareers.com.
