NEW BOOK – You’re Hired! Standout CVs

PRESS RELEASE

A comprehensive blueprint for marketing your skills in the modern workplace

---

The job search landscape is constantly evolving and global events such as The COVID-19 Pandemic and the AI revolution have catalysed change at a rapid rate. Many individuals are rethinking their career direction, with flexibility, purpose and fulfilment growing in importance for candidates.

As the needs of candidates and workplaces change, so to do the methods used to secure employment. Whilst the static, traditional CV still has its use case, it is essential that candidates are able to deploy all of the tools at their disposal to stand out to employers. Within You’re Hired! Standout CVs, the UK’s leading career coach Corinne Mills expertly guides the reader through the plethora of ways candidates can stand out in the modern job market. From CV websites and cover letters to structure tips and personal branding, Corinne clearly outlines when each tool is most appropriate and how it can be used smartly.

Within the 3rd edition of the best-selling “You’re Hired!” CV guide, Corinne has brought the book right up to date, including guidance on how AI tools can be used to assist the CV writing process, but stresses the importance of ensuring the document remains authentic to who you are and what you can bring to organisations throughout. Reflecting further on the growing role of technology, You’re Hired! Standout CVs also includes advice on the growing role of social media in shaping your personal brand to potential employers.

Corinne highlights that to craft the most compelling CV it is essential you adapt your approach in line with your desired job role. Those seeking to embark on a complete career change, or reenter the workforce after a period of absence, will frame their skills and achievements differently in comparison to those who are looking for their first job post-education or first senior leadership role. Flexibility is paramount.

Importantly, the book does not look at CVs in isolation, Corinne also empowers readers with essential knowledge on navigating wider digital recruitment practices, including online networking, speculative emailing, headhunters and job adverts.

Accessible and practical throughout, You’re Hired! Standout CVs contains checklists and recommendations interspersed with CV and email templates to inspire the reader’s own job search journey. The easily digestible format ensures the book is the perfect reference point at every stage of the application process.

With more than 30 years of career management experience condensed into one essential framework, You’re Hired! Standout CVs is the ideal read for any candidate looking to effectively showcase their skills and achievements to stand out in the modern workplace.
