bigtt76: I hear what you're saying about it being like a buzzword but while the reason for rejection may not be an 'untailored' CV, a tailored CV will ALWAYS be a huge advantage so that's why people harp on it every time. You'll stand a stronger chance of getting past the initial ATS screening in the first place, and also when the hiring manager is considering you during the interview process. Anyway, to tailor your CV is essentially to rewrite the contents of your CV to reflect the specific needs of a job you're applying to. The degree of tailoring should always be at the level of the industry at the minimum, but also at the level of the specific role, ideally. So, you'd take your base CV template and replace elements irrelevant (bearing transferable skills in mind) to that role with ones that directly reflect what the company wants, as specified in the JD. One way to ease this is to have custom CV templates for specific kinds of roles, in addition to the general base CV, so it'll be easier to edit those than doing it from your base template each time. If you're a lawyer, for instance, it could be CV-litigation, CV-corporate. So every time you have a job you want to apply for, you can then choose the closest one, and then customise it further to suit the job. If you want to apply for a role as a corporate associate specialised in intellectual property, for instance, you'd take the corporate template and remove things like oil and gas or mergers and acquisitions deals you worked on, and then focus on the IP aspects of your experience. Three ways I can think of off the top of my head now - I'm sure there'll be more info online : 1. Change your experience section to reflect the role, as in the example above. You don't change where you worked, but you change the specific accomplishments you highlight under each job. 2. Change the accomplishments to reflect the kinds of things the company wants to hire you for. So if the company is hiring you to register trademarks, there's no sense in spending all the space highlighting your research in patent applications. 3. Make the more relevant sections longer, and trim the irrelevant ones. In the example above, for instance, the last job where you worked on IP the most may have up to 5 - 6 lines under the highlights but the time when you worked as an intern in a criminal law role may have Just one or two at most. 16 Likes 3 Shares |

Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by Viruses: 7:49pm On Apr 22, 2023 |
rinzylee:I would say yes because only emergency breaking would have stopped me before the line. Normal breaking would have stopped me after the line in the middle of the raod. I also judged that emergency breaking would put the vehicle behind me at risk. |

Do humans review the camera or it is automated from capture to penalty. Something tells me if someone reviews it I will be forgiven. |

Viruses: It depends if there's red light camera at the junction. Wait for 2 weeks to see if you will get letter....palpitations period for any brown envelopes. You may likely escape this scenario. Reflect on it and don't break the red light signs. The rule for me is from far distance, check the traffic lights and if green has been for a long time before l reach the junction, I reduce speed as l am approaching, knowing that it will soon change to Amber to red. 1 Like |

ukay2:There is camera. I abide by this rule as well but the light didn't change till I was almost crossing. I just read online now that there is a one second delay before the camera flashes. If that is true, then I should be fine because my front wheels crossed the line on amber but not sure of the back. |

Viruses: You should be fine if that's the case....meaning you crossed on Amber colour |
