This seminar was created through more than 100 hours of research exploring what recruiters, employers, and companies want from an applicant. What we discovered was there is no one way to write a CV.  Wonderful discovery, so how does that help you?

We took what applied to Indonesia mostly, kept the logical parts of the job application process and simplified the steps which will be presented in this 5-hour seminar.

We will show you what not to do and what to do with explanations of why. Understanding the ‘why’ will help you create your own custom made – NO Templates, please – CV that will give you a better chance for a call-up for an interview than most of your competition.

University, D3 and SMK students will greatly benefit by this seminar because it will place them above their competition and will be more readily invited for an interview.
