CV WRITING and JOB APPLICATION WORKSHOPS |
||
 |
|
Workshops are normally conducted at the client's place of business or at our Bracknell offices |
It's been said millions of times - "employees are an Organisation's greatest asset" - but there are times when employees and Organisation have to part. Whether the situation is a redundancy programme, contract end or change of direction and personnel requirements, the manner and terms on which employees leave is when the Company's HR policies and the attitude to employee well-being becomes most visible. Equiping leaving employees with the knowledge and tools to secure a new job and instilling in them the confidence required is one of the most effective ways of minimising the pains of the separation and sending a clear "we care" message to other retained staff. Perfect CVs workshops provide an affordable and customisable solution to providing job seeker support for departing employees and is a valued element of any outplacement programme.
Workshop candidates can expect to gain a thorough knowledge of the job application process and how to navigate it to their best advantage and will receive a full set of workshop documentation. Workshops are limited to a maximum of 10 persons and typically cover:

Some candidates will construct successful CVs and Application letters during the workshop based on the knowledge gained but this is NOT guaranteed; candidates will possesss the knowledge of what is required to write a high quality CV and application letters but some will require individual support outside of the workshop, either face to face or via telephone discussion. This service can be ordered separately at discounted rates.
The workshop elements described above are completed in approx. 4 hours, for a maximum of 10 candidates, usually at the client's place of business. Please note that internet connectivity is required and the room for the workshop should be suitable for usage of a PC connected projector and screen (provided by Perfect CVs). The greatest degree of interactivity is gained if each candidate has individual computer and internet access but this is not essential; they should however be seated at desks or tables. Workshops can also be scheduled at the Bracknell, Berkshire offices of Perfect CVs subject to availability.
The content of the workshop will be customised to the market sector(s) / job type(s) of the candidates and we are happy to modify the programme as described above to meet specific requirements.
