Even if you already have a CV example, you may doubt whether or not the example is working well. This is an understandable concern because you created the example with a certain goal in mind and you want to achieve this goal. One reason people create an example CV is because they are trying to land their dream job. Other people create these types of examples because they intend to sell the examples.
We have included some useful advice on how to determine if your example CV is doing what it should be doing. We will start out by considering job seekers. Getting responses and interview requests from potential employers is a good sign that the CV is working.
If you are getting many calls your example is probably working even if you are not landing the job. Those who are selling a CV example can look at their sales record for an indication of how effective the example is. If you are attracting a lot of visitors to your website but not many are purchasing your example, it is a good indication that the example needs some work. Really, take a look at it and see if you can determine what is keeping visitors from making a purchase. However, if many visitors are purchasing your example, it is working well. Now is the time to try to repeat your success by creating more examples.
Once you figure out your example is not working well, you need to make some changes. Try creating a new version with one or two changes and testing it to see how effective it is. If you don\'t see improvements you will have to look elsewhere for help.
At this time, having someone else evaluate and edit your CV example is appropriate. Someone on the outside may be able to not only tell you what it is about your example that is not working but also tell you what can be improved. Website visitors and potential employers can also be queried for criticism on your example CV.
