Arras People Plans to Help Aberdeen APM Members Improve CVs

Arras People, the Project Management Recruitment People, will host free CV workshops 16th February at the local branch APM event in Aberdeen.
 
Jan. 28, 2010 - PRLog -- 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

Arras People have offered free CV workshops & reviews previously at Project Challenge in Birmingham last March, and were overwhelmed by the immediate response. Similar to the Project Management Careers Clinics on offer from Arras People, next month’s CV Workshop opportunity aims to help project professionals improve their attractiveness of their CVs in an increasingly cutthroat job market.

Hides, a chartered engineer that has worked on projects and in organisations large and small, joined Arras People in 2007, bringing with him relevant skills and experience from project management and in sectors including engineering and manufacturing.

“The CV Workshops for the APM are based on our popular project management careers clinics”, Hides said. “The session will be targeted directly at project management professionals which makes the opportunity pretty unique for conference attendees, there is no other careers advice and CV workshops specifically for project management professionals available in the marketplace.”

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’s CVs so the session is all about passing on advice, hints and tips that help job seekers make the most of their CV”

The event is scheduled to be held from 9am-5.30pm 16th February at the Hilton Treetops Hotel, Aberdeen.
