3 ADVICE: This is your mission statement, not a boring list of duties

Questions to think about when writing a CV THERE’S no getting away from it, your CV is a sales document. Instead of typing the words ‘Curriculum Vitae’ or ‘CV’ at the top, put in ‘Why You Should Hire Me…’ and see how you write it.

There’s little point just creating a list of duties or responsibilities; you will not get hired solely because of what you have done, but more because of what you have achieved within those duties and responsibilities, and how you can successfully build upon them and deliver in your next role.

Your whole CV should be your mission statement, your ‘This Is Me’ moment. It may be the door opener, getting you an interview, but when you get in front of a hiring decision maker you need a strong CV to present to. Written well, it can set the tone for an interview, manage expectations and enable you to play to your strengths. When you write your CV, think about these four questions.

What are my biggest achievements?

Forget the CV format; just

close your eyes and think of the five or six biggest achievements that have really meant something to you. They can be things that made a difference, or really stretched you out of your comfort zone, changed the way that the company did something, or required a lot of influencing. Whatever they are, they’ve got to be quantifiable achievements that will give whoever reads your CV an insight into how effectively you operate.

So many candidates list the ‘biggest’ duty under a job title.

Invariably it will be something to do with managing people, or standing in for a senior colleague, or having taken a lead on a project, maybe around recruitment or talent.

Whatever is listed first is quite often the thing that means most to you, the key achievement… you need to make sure that it’s relevant for the type of role that you want.

There is little point listing management as your major responsibility or achievement if you aren’t looking to apply for a role involving management.

Where have I added value and made a real difference?

Too many CVs reflect a list of duties and responsibilities that look like they have been cut and pasted from a job description. You need to bring the CV to life, give it colour and substance, let anyone reading it know what you have done that really made a difference to your company. It doesn’t have to be a dramatic sea change, it can be something that simplified or enhanced a process that was already there.

Why am I reading this?

This last question is not for the jobseeker, but for the person reading the CV. They’ve got a vacancy to fill and your CV has come to them, whether directly or through a third party. Why are they reading it?

How does your CV fit with what they want? If they have to hunt for the clues and piece it together then chances are they’ll move on to the next one.

5 ADVICE: Legal expert answers your questions

What are my rights when the snow falls? went ahead without this contractual right, it would be considered an “unlawful deduction of wages”. It may be wise to try and reach agreement with your employer though, as opposed to using up your holiday entitlement.

The winter weather forecast is not good. Snow has already arrived in certain parts of the country and forecasters are predicting it could be a harsh winter. The chances are that at some point this winter you may be struggling to get to work, and many workers will simply not be able to make it in – even though it’s through no fault of their own. So what are your employment rights if you are unable to make it to work?

Are you still entitled to be paid, and could you even be disciplined? We put the questions to our legal expert, Philip Landau…

Do I have a right to be paid?

Some employers will have ‘bad weather’ policies so it is worth checking this in the first instance. A generous employer may provide for you to still be paid if bad weather genuinely stops you from making it into work, or there may be a collective agreement in place covering this position. In the absence of such a policy, you are at the whim of your employer as to whether your pay is docked if you do not turn up for work.

Can I suggest alternatives to my employer?

Yes. In fact the advisory conciliation service, ACAS has long recommended the following: • You could offer to make up lost hours by working additional unpaid overtime or different shift-patterns.

• You could also offer to work from home which is especially feasible where you are able to log into computer systems remotely or where you

Could I be disciplined?

This is possible if you do not inform your employer of your whereabouts or do not make a sufficient effort to get into work. For example, if all your colleagues have made it in and you have not, questions will undoubtedly be asked. As long as you do not take unreasonable advantage of the situation, this is unlikely to turn into a disciplinary matter.

work involves a lot of telephone use.

• If there is a faster direct route to work which is more expensive than usual, you could invite your employer to meet this additional cost if they insist you should be there.

Employers are not obliged to agree to any of the above.

What if I can manage to get to work, but school closures prevent me from doing so due to child care issues?

Although you would have the right to unpaid leave if you had to arrange emergency childcare arrangements, there is no right to be paid in these circumstances. Your employer may still be prepared to pay you for your time off if you can work from home or you agree to make up the hours.

Can my employer force me to take a day off as holiday?

Yes. The general position is that your employer may require you to

take annual leave on particular days by giving the appropriate notice. The law states that you must be given warning that is the equivalent of twice the length of the leave. Such notice should specify the day or days on which leave is required to be taken and such notice must be at least twice the period of leave it requires the worker to take.

For example, if your employer requires you to take a day’s leave, you must be given 2 days advanced notice.

What if my workplace is closed due to bad weather?

In these circumstances, you are entitled to be paid in full and your employer cannot require you to take the time as annual leave. In addition, your employer cannot require you to take the time as annual leave.

As can be seen, there is no single, standard approach. You should hope that your employers will understand the difficulty you have in genuinely dire weather situations. The general accepted guidance is that whether you are paid or not, you should not put yourself in danger by travelling in dangerous conditions.
