Following on from last week's chat with Mr Tubridy on RTE, we had an all-too-brief chat today on the topic of the written stage of the job-hunt. You can find the entire programme here or just listen to the pertinent part (about 10 minutes) below:

For those of you who haven't had to produce a CV for many a long year, or for those of you who are a bit bewildered at the prospect, we have produced an abbreviated "Who am I and what do I have to offer?" self-profiler document which you can download from the Tubridy Show site here [it's on the September 3rd bit of the archive].
On next week's show it's onto everyone's favourite pastime - the job interview.

fantastic.
And yet there are people out there who insist it is unfair to judge them on their presentation (letter, CV, dress) when all that should matter is their work.
That would be the work which the recruiter has no means of vetting.
I once asked a potential employer why I had been rejected as a candidate for the job.
She told me. I corrected - politely - the assumptions she had made about me due to one answer on the questionnaire, and I got the job!
I spent almost a year until I plucked up the courage to go up to the boss to ask for a raise in salary. And this was after working for 4 years for the same company. Don't you think they should have offered me a raise before I went to ask them? Did I get the raise? No. Manager said there was no justification for that raise. I based my request on changes in the family, cost of life, etc,etc. But none worked. How do you make an employer understand when you deserve a raise? This made me think a lot about employee-management relationship and this is why I began reading and writing about HR.
