senior care vacancies come up from time to time
in some sectors of care, and when they do,
theyre fiercely competed for.   If youre
applying for a senior care vacancy, now is the
time to revamp your CV and to tailor it exactly
to the role you want to secure. OUTT has teamed
with expert CV builders Wozber to help our
employees flourish, and here are their top tips
to get the senior care vacancy youre submitting
your CV for!
STAND OUT Competition for a senior care vacancy
may be not just crowded, but also tough.   Make
sure that whatever makes you different to other
candidates is clear. Put these details on your CV
and ensure that you clearly explain why it is
important to the role you are applying for!

MAP OUT YOUR SUITABILITY
All of your qualifications, experience and
professional relevancy should be easy to read and
presented upfront so that its easy to
understand. This one page of A4 may be the only
chance you get to sell your best features to the
hiring manager, so ensure that a quick glance at
your CV tells them exactly why you fit the role.

TAILOR YOUR CV TO THE JOB DESCRIPTION

• One of the most common mistakes that people make
  when writing a CV (in all industries, not just
  healthcare!) is that they simply write out what
  theyve done and what theyre good at without
  considering just how relevant that is to the job
  theyre applying for.
• Read and note down the key points from the job
  description of the vacancy youre hoping to
  secure. Ensure that your relevance to any key
  points are clear. If theres a requirement for
  your own vehicle, mark it down (preferably with a
  note about your clear driving license). If
  theres a desire for the successful candidate to
  be able to adapt quickly to changing situations,
  note down an example of you having done so. If
  the role involves learning new skills,
  demonstrate a time where you had to learn
  something different.
• You dont need to have done every single point on
  a job description to be successful in applying
  for it, but if theres anything youre unable to
  relate to, be honest and show willingness to
  learn and adapt.

LINK TO A PROFESSIONAL ONLINE PRESENCE

• Link to your LinkedIn profile so that employers
  know they can look up your online CV for any more
  info on you, particularly references from
  colleagues and managers and skillsets. Of course,
  youll need to make sure that your profile is up
  to date and looks good so take some time to
  work on it.
• Please bear in mind though when an employer
  googles you, your LinkedIn may not be the only
  social media profile that pops up in the search
  results. Ensure that anything else public is
  non-offensive and non-controversial. This is a
  good opportunity to double check your privacy
  settings!

FORMAT WELL

• Scrap the swirly fonts and stay strictly
  professional. A CV being submitted for a senior
  care vacancy should be smart, well-formatted,
  easy to read and appropriate. It should not be
  over one A4 page in length (there are some
  exceptions, but for the most part, they simply
  wont be read), should contain only relevant
  information and must convey the professionalism
  that would be expected from a social care worker.
  If youre not a whiz at Microsoft Word or,
  indeed, at formatting, involve the experts Use
