JANE BLACKLOCK

Jane has spent 25 years in the recruitment industry. She has short listed candidates for a large number of blue chip clients such as Microsoft, Renault Retail Group, IBM and Nestle. In addition to short listing candidates, Jane has also been responsible for directly employing candidates so she knows exactly what to look for in a CV.
Through writing winning CVs and providing expert CV advice, Jane has helped professional, skilled and unskilled jobseekers achieve a greater number of interviews than they would have done by themselves. Her many years in recruitment means that she can get right to the heart of a job's requirements and ensure that the CV demonstrates the necessary core competencies and skills.
Jane gets great satisfaction from helping her candidates win more interviews with a better CV. She says, "Many of us underestimate our abilities and therefore undersell ourselves in our CV. By working with the jobseeker I get a great buzz from getting them to appreciate their achievements and recognise the value they bring to an organisation. This is half the battle to writing a great CV".
