The Power of Language

We are a pure play financial headhunter; a very international market, perhaps the most international market of all.  Around 30% of our placements require relocation and over 95% of our CV introductions and interviews are conducted in English language.  Places like Dubai and Singapore are particularly mixed markets when it comes to first languages of those in the financial space.  Here, English is often the commonly spoken language as a 2nd language of both candidate and hiring company.  It is critical, therefore, that CV’s and written resumes reflect your skill set accurately and articulately in printed English.  We see 1000’s of CV’s each week from candidates who speak English as a second language and often find after our screening conversations that the written CV doesn’t accurately demonstrate the candidates experience.  A CV should talk to your hiring manager; make sure it’s speaking volumes.
