What is Marketing ?

Marketing, more than any other busines function, deals with customers. Understanding, creating, communicating, and delivering customer value and satisfaction are at the very heart of modern marketing thinking and practice. Although we will expbut enduring promiselore more detailed definitions of marketing later in this chapter, perhaps the simplest definition is this one: Marketing is the delivery of customer satisfaction at a profit. The twofold goal of marketing is to attract new customers by promising superior value and to keep current customers by delivering satisfaction.

  Wal-mart has become the world's largest retailer by delivering on its promise, "Always low prices- always." FedEx dominates the U.S. small- package freight industry by consistently making good on its promise of gast, reliable small-package industry by consistently making good of fast, reliable small-pakage delivery. Ritz-Cartlon promises and delivery truly : memorable experience" for its hotel guest. Coc-cola, long the worlds' leadng soft drink , deliver on the simple but enduring promise, always thirst- quenching, always good with food

Improving your CV

Include "action words" such as "motivated" "achieved" because they create a positive impression.

Bullet point lists of capabilities / achievements but be careful not to overuse bullet points because that can cause a negative reaction from the reader.

Why not evaluate your personal qualities in "talent statements“. Remember that this is your CV and your one chance to sell yourself to an employer. Why should they want to employ you in this role? What are your particular talents?

Draw up a “Skills Chart” to help you to decide what key skills you have and which should be mentioned in your CV.

Top Tips:

Review your CV objectively asking:

Ø  Is the layout clear?

Ø  Have I included all necessary relevant material?

Ø  Have I excluded all irrelevant material?

Ø  Is it tailored to the requirements of the employer / job?

Ø  Is the most important information on the first page?

Ø  Are my key skills highlighted?

Ø  Have all spelling and grammatical errors been removed.

5.3       Still short of ideas?

There are lots of websites with examples and also with CV templates. Use them to gather ideas. But beware of using standard templates. It is usually apparent to an employer that the applicant has used a standard CV template and you are likely to create a much better impression by producing a CV which is unique to you.

Remember that you need to stand out from the crowd. An employer initially reading CV’s is likely to focus quickly on the first half of the first page before deciding whether to read further. So it is the first half of the first page which you need to use to make a maximum impact.

6.         COVERING LETTERS

If you are using your CV as part of a specific job application or sending multiple CVs out to employers as a speculative exercise, you will need to include a covering letter to put your CV into context and make sure that it doesn’t simply get overlooked.

Generally covering letters should be tailored to specific roles and are an opportunity for you to demonstrate your skills in relation to that specific opportunity.

Covering letters should be no more than one side of A4 and should be addressed to a named person within the organisation, otherwise the covering letter and your CV may only reach the bin!

They should include your own contact details. These letters are normally formal in style and of course should be correct grammatically and free of spelling errors.

This principal applies to CVs as well but is arguably even more important in the case of the covering letter as any mistake at this stage is likely to consign your letter to the waste bin without further consideration.

A suggested five paragraph approach to preparing covering letters:

1.         Introduction.

2.         Why you are interested in the role.

3.         Why you are interested in the organisation.

4.         Your key skills.

5.         Availability for interview.

7.         FURTHER MATERIAL

Plus if you search for CV on the internet you will find many additional resources too.

4.2       Content

If aspects of presentation can be subjective there is widespread agreement on the content of the CV. You will certainly include personal details such as your name and contact details including email and mobile phone details. You don’t need to include your age or date of birth and it would not be normal to include a photograph. In fact in the UK such personal details including gender cannot be requested because of anti-discrimination legislation. You may of course choose to include such information if you wish.

Many CVs now follow this up with a brief profile and career objective(s). This needs to be brief and to the point, honest and realistic. You need to take care to be positive but avoid clichés which could make this appear to the reader as trite or even tacky.

You need to include a complete career history with dates and make sure there are no gaps because this will be one of the first things a potential employer will spot. Where there are gaps you need to be in a position to explain them at interview.

With all of these historical sections, reverse chronological order seems to be the preferred approach this is because generally speaking the employer will be interested in your most recent experience.

You will include your educational achievements from secondary school onwards and these days employers will expect to see some assessment of your skills profile as well as a comment on interests, achievements and responsibilities.

It is normal to include two referees. But you need to ask if they are willing to be named as referees first. Try to get blanket approval from your referees so you don’t have to refer every application back to them.

The different sites listed in the references at the end of this Paper provide more specific details on the content under each of the main headings.

4.1 General Presentation

If the CV is being used as a means of getting a job, whether in a speculative way or as part of a specific application, it should be obvious that it will be one of many CVs potentially seen by an employer so it does need to stand out from the competition but it also needs to be brief. It is, after all, a summary.

Most of the guidance does seem to be agreed on this point and the optimum length for th eCV would appear to be two pages. This has the advantage of being printed on two sides of a single A4 sheet of paper so it is easy to handle ( no staples) and quick to read. It is also easy to copy but here remmeber that colours may look great on the original but may not copy so well if the CV is photocopied.

Of corse it can be quite difficult to include the level of detail desired and so the space needs to be fully and well utilised withou tbeing overcrowded or cluttered
Linked to the length of the CV is the requirement that it should be easy to read. To a significant defree this is about the way in which is formatted. A lot can be achieved through careful use of fonts and layout. Too much bold or underlining and nothing will stand out.

The apperanced of your CV need to be unfussy with careful use of bold emphasis. It should avoid distration such as background images or borders around tables. Producing a good layout is about clarity in the wy the information is set out on the page and this, in turn, is about the relationship between text and the space around the text so careful though needs to be given to margins and spaces between paragraphs.

The quality of the paper send a massage about you too ....

CV Writing Guidelines

CV's are potentially very subjective. As you will see later, different styles of CV may impress different people. SO there is no single "right" way of writting nd presenting your CV.

But there are some generic guidelines to follow  and certainly there are things which you definetely must not do in a CV. Get it wrong and even a simple type in your CV can cost you the job

You need to stand out from the crowd and showcase your skills and abilities !

Purpose of CV

- FIrstly, it is used in the xontext of job application as a means of communicating information to potential employers
