On average, recruiters spend just 8.8 seconds reading your CV.
This means you have less than a sixth of a minute to sell yourself and
your strengths to the reader. This is easier said than done: three
quarters of CVs are rejected due to bad grammar, spelling and poor
visual layout.

So what makes a successful job application? We asked career experts for their tips. Here is a step-by-step Guardian Jobs guide on how to create the perfect CV.
It's vital your CV is as tailored and concise as possible. One of the simplest mistakes job hunters make is not matching their experience to the new job role. It's essential to look down the list of requirements and show against each points how you can do each one, says Jon Gregory, a job search, application and interview coach.

It's also important to drop the clichés. Words like passionate and phrases like 'I'm excellent at' are overused, says Gregory. Show
your passion rather than say it. Don't use subjective statements like
'I can hit the ground running' instead use objective proof that you have
demonstrated those skills – such as a list of numbers and achievements.
Lis McGuire, founder of Giraffe CVS, agrees you should avoid clichés: The most important thing to leave off a CV is white noise – essentially anything that isn't directly relevant to the job role you're applying. For non-relevant work simply give the bare bones and instead focus on explaining relevant experience that will win you the role.
In summary, your writing style should be professional, concise and specific to the job you're applying to. Make it as easy as possible for them to scan your CV and tick boxes, advice the experts.

The personal profile is often tricky. How can you strike the perfect professional yet enthusiastic voice? Without a profile your CV is just a list without context, points out McGuire. Use it to show the reader who you are and the value you can bring.
But how exactly can this be done? Your CV profile should strive to provide abalanced complement of skills, achievements, and softer attributes that will engage the reader, advises Debra Wheatman, founder and owner of Careers Done Write. I generally recommend that the summary comprises 4-5 lines with a relevant example to quickly engage the reader.
Your profile should sum up exactly who you are and whether you're a good fit for the role, says Gregory. Likewise, Sarah Archer, career coach and co-founder of CareerTree, says: Make it specific, interesting and relevant to the job. Highlight the key skills and experiences you have and the kinds of environments you have worked in.

Finally, the family has assisted to the Labour Conference Talk English organized by the International Labour Organization.
They are worried about the real situation of working after the global economic
crisis which has affected lives of millions of people severely.
They have
taken information to help other people to find a work. This is the
reason because of they have to find the best, and not the best thing,
about all of them.
Job-interviewing is just a skill.
Like any skill,
some people have more of a predisposition
for it than others.
