Interim CV Writing

An interim CV has become a vital document for business professionals looking for an interim position. An interim CV needs to have a very specific focus and should be presented slightly differently to the traditional CV. Getting your CV right means that potential employers can easily and immediately see the value that you are able to offer their business in an interim position.

One of the main questions we get asked is:
“how do I prepare my CV for the interim market if I want to gain my first contract and have never worked as an interim before?”

How to write an interim CV

An interim CV is completely different to a CV focused towards a permanent role. The nature of interim work leads CVs to become very lengthy and repetitive which can lose the reader’s focus. Therefore an interim CV is more a business case and successful interims must look at themselves as a product or service provider rather than an employee. It is vital that you clearly demonstrate and evidence the ability to deliver projects within agreed timescales and to budget. An interim CV is a much stronger sell than a permanent CV and should be presented as a business proposition.

Focus on key skills

To ensure that your interim history does not get lost in the document, we encourage clients to focus on their main selling points (key skills / deliverables). Once you have identified around 6 of these skills then you must evidence the skill in action and then start building the first page of the cv.

Include a strong personal profile

An interim CV should include a strong personal profile written in the 3rd person demonstrating exactly what you do, what you have done and WHY the employer should progress with the application is paramount.

Improve find ability on job sites with keywords

The use of keywords is vital throughout this document to ensure that it generates the most amount of exposure on job sites. To understand what your key words are for your industry sector takes time and to fully identify where and when to include them is an art form, however some top tips from Resume World’s interim writer would be to search relevant jobs on jobs sites and print off a selection of about 6 roles. Once you have completed this then highlight the words that are consistently repeated on the job specification under the required skills section. Just completing this exercise will dramatically increase your key words in the new CV.

Include your interim career history as an overview

Your interim career history can be displayed as an overview that can highlight the key messages you want to portray. Try and keep the career history succinct, focus on the key deliverables that you have identified in the key skills and profile section of the CV – this is to evidence the skills “in action”.

Be consistent

One of the main areas of importance (as well as a strong CV) is to have a consistent message running across all social media channels – especially LinkedIn profiles. LinkedIn and actively networking is as important as completing contracts for any interim manager as you must ensure that you have a strong pipeline of enquiries / opportunities coming through. Find out more about our LinkedIn profile writing.

How long should my interim CV be?

You will find that experienced interim recruiters have differing opinions on how long a CV should be so we tend to encourage having a short and long / detailed version to ensure you please all recruiters. The document should be as easy to read and as concise as possible, sometimes too much information is detrimental to an application and you can actually talk yourself out of a contract / project.

How much will it cost?

The prices of our professional CV writing service varies dependent on the level of work required to maximise the document.

Thorough review of a lengthy and varied career. Thoughtful in terms of presentation which was never a strong pointy of mine. Knows the current recruitment market methods in a way that a candidate never can. I was very impressed by the approach and delivery.

Clive Mason, Walsall

My CV was several years out of date and I was considering a career change within the same industry. I rang Resume World (Andrew) and explained my position to which he also had questions for me. That in itself was re-assuring because it was clear that he wanted to produce a perfect CV for me. I sent my CV and a few job descriptions of the roles I was looking for and he did not disappoint. The customer service alone is beyond exceptional, I got it earlier than promised considering my deadline was sort notice and the CV is BRILLIANT. CV pal is brilliant and I without doubt recommend it anyone.

Miles, Maidstone

Once again Andrew I cannot thank you enough for your excellent CV and cover letter writing service. My request to update my CV was carried out promptly and professionally as always. After loading my CV onto the websites you suggested, I immediately began to receive interest from prospective employers. I am delighted to say that I have secured the job of my dreams within a few weeks of searching !
Well Done Andrew, a fantastic service as usual and I would certainly not hesitate to recommend your services.

Linda, Tring

Andrew at Resume World has been an exceptional help guiding me as I take my first steps along my career path. From Personal Statements to video applications, Andrew has always tremendously delivered with his great knowledge and experience in this field, so much so, that with his help I have been able to achieve my goal, which was to secure a position on a Summer Internship Scheme. Once again, I would really like to thank Andrew for all of his help and I can honestly and truly say that without Andrew's assistance I would not be in the position I am today. I would thoroughly recommend Andrew as his assistance has really paid off for me and will certainly be carrying on with his service in the future.
