Are you including this small, but crucial piece of information on your CV?

We are often asked for any helpful tips we have regarding CV's, applications and interviews. A key piece of advice relates to your CV and a very small, but key piece of information. One crucial detail that is sometimes overlooked is your contact number. Ensuring your CV includes your phone number can make all the difference in landing that dream job!

Here's why adding a contact number is essential:

🌟Immediate Accessibility: Employers often need to reach candidates quickly for interviews or clarifications. A phone call is the fastest way to get in touch.
🌟Professionalism: Including your contact number demonstrates that you are organised and attentive to details. It shows you are prepared and ready for professional communication.
🌟Convenience for Employers: Some employers prefer to discuss applications over the phone rather than email. Making it easy for them to contact you can work in your favour.
🌟Avoid Missed Opportunities: Without a contact number, you might miss out on urgent job offers or interview slots that require prompt responses.
🌟Adds a Personal Touch: A phone number adds a human element to your CV, making it easier for potential employers to connect with you on a personal level.

Tips for Including Your Contact Number:
🌟Ensure the number is current and correct.
🌟Use a professional voicemail greeting in case you miss a call.
🌟Keep your phone handy and charged, especially when you're actively job hunting.

Remember, your CV is your first impression. Make it as easy as possible for employers to get in touch with you and seize every opportunity that comes your way!

🌟Happy job hunting! 🌟
