When you write “I am a creative professional” or “I am innovative” or “I can think out of the box” in CV for job, give evidence!
One of WarriorCV’s clients proved it in a unique way. I am glad; this innovative thought grew up into him a brand and snatched the immediate attention of recruiter. His resume is the true reflection of his skills and personal attributes. This is extremely pleasant moment for us.
It has been a big challenge to get on a shortlist and be invited for interview. A smart and unique approach of sending a job application needs the big courage.
Conventional ways of delivering a CV for job have shifted. Key is giving in a special way. Looking for a way that makes your CV noticeable, a few steps ahead of Job competitors?
One of my clients from UAE called me in the morning and thanked for a well-written, influential and winning CV. During the conversation, he shared his technique how he found a new way to deliver his resume to companies and eventually landed into the interviews. Indeed, he is brainy. He delivered his CV for job in an appetizing box of cupcakes. Yes, you read it right -in a box of cupcakes!
I inquired him further how did he get this inspiration. “I have been a follower of a president of famous Pakistani Tech Association on social media,” He says. “Whenever a visitor meets her, he or she brings her a pack of chocolates or sweets or cupcakes or donuts or other toothsome morsel. And she regularly publishes pictures of the scrumptious food as tokens of love and respect. An idea immediately hit my mind, if I can send my CV in a box of cupcakes.” To him, these food items can increase the visibility to recruiters – a biggest challenge to jobseekers now-a-days. He had no choice but to listen his inner voice. So, he committed to trying this one and it eventually worked for him at first attempt.
By now, he has made 14 of mouth-watering Cupcake-CV deliveries to recruiters at his favorite companies and some made the immediate calls to meet. 🙂
Major Steps to Packaging of CV for Job:
- Select the cupcake bakery carefully with nice packaging and buy a box of yummiest cupcakes.
- Fold your CV the way your name, picture, designation are at eye-level.
- Attach it inside the opening lid of the cupcake box.
- Deliver it to hiring manager by a rider.
This is the single best technique of its kind I’m aware of.
Remember don’t take this technique as negative. It’s a fine selling approach. Recruiters loved it and appreciated it as unique idea from a Sales Engineer. I shared it with all of you with a confidence and a purpose to increase your chances of visibility to recruiters. There are thousands of CVs, stationed the inboxes of hiring managers and many of them remain unopened and become the part of past.
Tap into your zone of genius, creativity, productivity and efficiency and get the solution to deliver the CV for job in a decent and creative way. Give others the excitement with your professionally written CV to get the results.
