Free session for experienced managers & executives in Europe who are currently looking for a job (or getting ready for it): “Why traditional CVs don’t work – and how to fix it (incl. CVs for ATS)”.

Let’s face it: your current CV is the product of updating a file that you started 10-20 years ago. While the format you used as an ambitious junior was great, it most probably doesn’t reflect your USP, your personal brand or executive presence.

– why a “normal” CV won’t work with ATS
– how to prepare and adapt a CV to job ads
