If you work in marketing, communications, design, sales, or tech, I’m happy to review your CV.
People often underrate the importance of their CV. Your CV is more important than your cover letter, so make sure you call out your strengths, skills, and achievements.
Align your opening summary to the language used in the advert you’re responding to. Make it easy for people to see you’re a good fit.
Don’t feel your CV needs to be one page only. You’re selling yourself, so don’t sell yourself short. Two-three pages is fine.
The cover letter is a great place to call out those things that make you stand out as a candidate, as well as saying why you’re excited about an opportunity. It’s also a good place to explain anything unusual. Maybe you’ve just moved to New Zealand. Maybe you’re on a particular visa. That’s good info to share.

I’ve strong relationships with a number of businesses who trust me to recruit for them, so if you’re seeking a role at a particular New Zealand business, let me know. I may be able to help. Even if I don’t know the business you’re interested in, I may be able to suggest other, similar organisations.
Also, if you see an advert for a job you’re interested in, you're welcome to send it through. I may have a relationship with that business or know someone who does.

Salaries vary widely depending on your experience and the budget of the organisation recruiting. However, I’m talking to employers every day, and I've got my finger on the pulse of the market. Get in touch and tell me what sort of role you’re looking for, and I can give you a feel for salaries for any similar roles I’ve filled.
