Comment on Designing Your Résumé (CV) – Some Links by CV Writing

CV Writing — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 08:18:41 +0000

There is a lot of cracking good advice here Lloyd and as far as I can see, no ambiguity, the topic is crystal clear and I have stumbled it too as it needs to be seen. OK, it was written 3 years ago but the points are all still as valid now as they were then.

You are absolutely right that your ‘grammar Nazi’ should take over when writing both your resume/CV and the all important cover letter in which you should grab the attention of the employer by briefly stating what skills you have that would make you a suitable candidate. For me, as an HR professional, poor grammar is a big let down for almost any job. For those whose grammar is dodgy, a quick search of the internet via Google for ‘improve my CV’, ‘improve my cover letter’ will provide links to many HR professionals who can do that for you plus reams of free advice, such as that which has been given by yourself.

Comment on Use The Colour Red, Get Sued By Royal Mail by Matt Chandler

I know this is WAY, WAY after the event, but I just Google Searched this issue and this thread came up. It’s interesting, cause I was looking at some official documentation from Royal Mail and saw that statement, and just wondered how can they get away with saying the Colour Red is a trademark, when actually it is only a specific colour in conjunction with the Cruciform. They leave it very unambiguous for the “average” reader (which I am…!)
