Test of your CV

How do you test your CV?

When I ask others about this, the usual response is - by sending it to an organization for a role requiring relevant experience.

I tell them this is not a test of the CV; anyone with good experience can be considered for a role requiring more of the same.

The true test of a CV is when it is sent to an organization for a role in which one does not have prior experience. If one gets a positive response, you have a good CV.

“The world will look at you the way you look at yourself”. This is something I have always believed and experienced throughout my career.

If one keeps doing more of the same, the world may look at you as an expert in processing such transactions.

However, if one works to improve outcomes in whatever you do, the world will look at you accordingly.
