Taking your first steps towards a rewarding, challenging and most importantly an enjoyable career can be a daunting prospect. 

As soon as your application letter and CV/Resume land on a potential employer's desk you are making an impression - be it good or bad - which will determine whether you are invited to interview. When the competition for jobs is so fierce, this means that your success can be decided before you have even met the recruiter or had the opportunity to promote yourself at an interview. 

To give yourself the best possible advantage you need to put some time and effort into your job search preparations to ensure that you produce a marketing package that really sells you to a potential employer. 

Your CV/Resume and application letters must be powerful documents which are well presented with impeccable grammar and spelling. Most importantly they must impress upon an employer why they should meet you and what you can do for them. 

Many of us underestimate our real worth, undersell our abilities and undervalue the contribution we make in our lives. Yet we are all responsible for the most amazing achievements. 

Although you may lack real work experience, you will have already developed many strengths that would impress an employer and demonstrate that you possess the skills that they are looking for.
