Your CV is your first — and sometimes your only — chance to make a great impression on a potential employer, particularly in the global development sector, which remains a highly competitive job market with recruiters and hiring managers sometimes receiving hundreds of CVs for a single position.
In this exclusive webinar, Devex CV writing expert Tom LeaMond discusses the importance of a standout CV to jumpstart your global development job search. Having worked for many years in career and professional development consultancy, LeaMond helps his clients express their experience and translate their skills in a way that will make them stand out to recruiters. He shares his insider knowledge during this webinar.
When it comes to global development CVs, the usual rules may not apply. Short-term consultancies and career gaps are common, and candidates may also face difficulties in translating their experience from other sectors or country-specific projects. LeaMond provides practical tips for handling these common dilemmas and a simple formula you can use to sell your expertise.
