Perfect CV for sales jobs outlined

Sales recruitment hopefuls have been given a number of guidelines in order to produce the perfect CV for their chosen career.

Sarah Butcher, writing for efinancialcareers.co.uk, said that depending on seniority, the personal statement is a chance for people to demonstrate their intent and focus on the position.

For more experienced sales recruitment hopefuls, the personal statement should be used to summarise past achievements, often using tangible figures.

In the education section, postgraduate qualifications should be listed first, while if people have more than three years' full-time work experience, this should then take pride of place in this category.

Recent graduates should add relevant coursework details, emphasising anything related to business, accounting or economics.

When detailing work experience, sales recruitment hopefuls should make sure that they list key clients that they have worked with to show that they are used to working with the big players.

Contractor UK recently warned job hunters that there is a fine line between lying and being economical with the truth on CV's, adding that showing off skills can be done without making things up.
