Manager CV Sample

This sample of a manager's CV happens to be our Managing Director's CV. The CV focuses almost solely on the CV writing skills of our MD, even though this role also encompasses sales, marketing, finance, managing people, etc. The reason for this very narrow focus is because this is what you ('the potential client') is interested in. You don't want to know about our sales figures or how our marketing is going, what you really want to know about is our ability to produce an effective CV that wins you job interviews.

Your own CV needs to do exactly the same, you must analyse what your 'potential client' (an employer / recruitment agency) wants to know about you, in terms of skills, experience and achievements. Your CV must then persuade them that you have all the skills and experience required to perform the job and that you are better than all the other applicants. You will only have a chance of gaining an interview if you can produce a CV like this.

This CV uses a simple, straightforward layout. Over complex layouts and graphics can be off putting to an employer and may lead to your application being rejected. Employers need to quickly find the information they need when deciding whether to interview you or not. Black text is used, because not everyone has a colour printer. Remember also that the layout is only one component – it's how you use the words on your CV that matters most, because you must be able to sell yourself to an employer to gain an interview.
