Most contractors are aware that they should tailor their CV for each position, but it's not just your CV - there are tactics you can use throughout the selection process to customise your verbal and written message to practically guarantee not just a client meeting (interview), but a contract offer.

We’re not talking about basic tactics such as dropping in keywords and phrases into your CV, we're talking about advanced tactics developed by former interim recruiters and contractor market experts.

This webinar will cover:

  • What you must ask contract/interim recruiters before sending your CV
  • The raw material you will need before you even think about clicking ‘apply’
  • How to reverse engineer a contract brief (job description) to identify the client’s real needs
  • Why the order of information on job descriptions/contract briefs and CVs is crucial
  • The document you need to give a recruiter alongside your CV to ensure you are shortlisted
  • How to prevent your CV from being one of the 70% that never gets read by a human
  • How to ensure your CV caters for the needs of all stakeholders in the recruitment process
  • Why all contractors should have a ‘Master & Modular CV’
  • How to make your CV laser targeted for every application that takes just mins to tailor
  • Using linguistic mirroring to turbo-charge contract offer rates
  • How to use intel gained from recruiters and job descriptions in client meetings
  • The three things you must say at the end of a client meeting to double your chances of an offer
