In this episode I interview Ian Viner of the company CV Writing Services which was set up and is managed by CV Writing Consultant Ian Viner who has over 30 years' management experience gained in a variety of small to medium sized companies covering a wide range of industries.

Ian also has a broad range of leadership, coaching and mentoring skills. In recent years Ian has used these CV Writing Consultant skills both within companies and independently to assist a wide range of people in their job search as well as to cope with redundancy.​

With experience of Professional Outplacement Training, Ian has expertise in and understanding of how to successfully negotiate the job market, using an empathic and supportive approach to achieve results. He has also worked for a Professional CV Writing company as well as written CV’s for the UK’s leading Career Consultancy.  He differs from most other CV Writing companies as he meets all of his clients in person and spends most of the day drawing out their measurable achievements from his base in Watford, North London, England.

We discuss the challenges of writing a CV which can 'stand out from the crowd', especially when Artificial Intelligence software is being used to screen digital CVs before they are even seen by a human being.

Here we point to the significance of identifying and using the Keywords which might feature in a job advert or in the job description and person specification associated with the role for which you are applying.

Additionally, Ian highlights the need to include Measurable Achievements as a key feature of any well-written CV.
