Heywood, Lancashire – 28 January 2010
Arras People, the Project Management Recruitment specialists, will host a CV Workshop at the Association for Project Management (APM’s) Aberdeen branch conference in February. Leading project management consultants Michael Hides and Gary Holmes from Arras People will conduct the session as part of the “Development your Skills for Successful Projects” one day conference.
The conference will feature a series of forums and practical assistance sessions in addition to the CV workshop from Arras People. Sessions from the event intend to address:
• Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and preparing for Chartered Status
• Assessing competence in a project team
• APM’s competency framework
• Assessment of the attendee’s CPD profile
• Planning your CPD

Holmes brings a solid background in Project Coordination and PMO Support to his work in helping candidates build and develop their CVs for better client attraction. Having worked primarily in the Financial Services sector, Holmes has experience using best practice processes and procedures whilst serving as the lone coordinator of the entirety of projects within a single programme.
“The advice we give to project management professionals is based on eight years experience of working within the project management recruitment field ”, Holmes said. “We know what organisations and employers want to see in professional’
The event is scheduled to be held from 9am-5.30pm 16th February at the Hilton Treetops Hotel, Aberdeen.
