Your CV can help elevate your professional future in the procurement and supply chain sector.
The right one will bypass the technology and the initial five second human scan to earmark you for your target role. Isn’t that what a great CV is all about?
Writing your own CV – especially for those positions of high authority – doesn’t always come naturally. Everyone benefits from fresh eyes, perspective and industry insight. Your CV must articulate your distinctive skills and attributes in a way that shows the value you can bring to a future employer in an executive role. With fewer open roles in the market, it’s never been more important to understand what hiring managers look for in a CV when recruiting executive professionals.
