Updating your own CV is a hassle at the best of times, but the problem gets a whole lot worse when you have to pull together multiple CVs for a tender submission.
All too often, they’re out of date, don’t contain relevant information or just aren’t up to the job.
So what should you do?
- Prioritise – CVs are a vital part of the bid process; they can be the difference between win or lose.
- Assign responsibility – appoint a CV Champion so that everything is updated regularly, not just in a rush when you’re chasing a bid.
- Plan ahead – get each team member to draw up a comprehensive Library CV to go on file. Use a CV template to make it easy for them.
- Sharpen the content – ensure all CVs contain strong and persuasive information: not just a person’s roles, but how they add value.
- Focus on specifics – edit CVs for each tender submission so that all relevant expertise and experience is up-front and central.
- Adapt if necessary – if your team is missing a specific role (e.g. Account Manager) then adapt the CV of your ‘closest fit’ (e.g. Sales Manager).
- Align with the bid – ensure your CVs meet all key tender/project requirements. Prove you’re providing the right people for the job!
