CV Resume Updates

The logic in keeping your CV up-to-date

One of the problems we encounter when writing CVs centres around people's ability to remember all ofl their accomplishments.  A CV might not have been updated for quite a while and in that time the 'gems' - key awards and achievements - often become overlooked.

For this reason, it is well worth the effort in keeping account of the positives in your career as they happen - don't wait until you need to change jobs and time is of the essence.

Note the positives as they happen. Perhaps you . . . 

• Exceeded targets despite market downturn
• Managed complex change within timescale and budget
• Gained promotion with increasing levels of responsibility
• Developed a team member into a far more responsible role
• Built a knowledge-sharing culture of continuous improvement
• Designed and implemented more cost-efficient business processes
• Sourced new suppliers, achieving benefits in terms of price, quality and reliability
• Etc etc

Simply presuming that you will remember the "gems" when in a rush, under pressure or not in the best of spirits may be unrealistic.
