How to use a Free online Motivational Assessment test to build a masterpiece CV

The first step is to have a CV / Resume that gets you through the interviewer's door.

Therefore I want to sow the seeds of some of the behaviour and competency characteristics that you will need to demonstrate in your CV / Resume in order to win the interview.

Why is this so important? - This stuff is CV / Resume gold dust as it injects your unique personality, making your document stand out from the crowd (most CVs / Resumes are lists of responsibilities and dates, devoid of all personality)

And …

If you've researched your target career or job correctly, you will ensure that not only does your CV / Resume demonstrate your unique personality, but also aligns it with the characteristics required of your target role.

Powerful stuff!

Behaviours and Competencies of Successful People

Employers are looking for behaviour and personality characteristics that have been proven to work successfully in the past, and these tend to break down into the following:

Note: They are thankfully not expecting you to have all of them. But you must demonstrate the ones you do possess.

Tolerance of Ambiguity

P - Professionalism

A subjective description for a coming together, of a number of characteristics and competencies that the interviewer will be looking for. You are a reflection of the entire company.

Employers want the best to represent the company, and are looking for individuals who are mature, articulate, and have good people skills. Being "professional" means that you know how to "handle yourself" as an employee of the company.

You show up on time, do the work to the best of your ability, and respect your co-workers.
