  2. Give us a brief indication of the projects and budgets  that you have been involved with – your CV should have accomplishments and not a mere list of tasks/duties per role
  3. Send us your highly customized 2-4 page  CV (longer CVs will be rejected since they do not reflect an ability to communicate with brief focused clear sentences)  CV in Word (so NO PDF files please)  to: CV @ HIREgh . com (remove empty spaces) with the appropriate heading: ‘Construction Project Finance’  in your email’s subject/ Title line.
  4. Ideally, use Arial font No 10 for all of your CV and Arial font No 12 and capitals for your headings, please

  6. Once again: DO NOT SEND a CV that is 4 pages long nor a CV in PDF format or as GoogleDoc –our ATS is set to ignore CVs longer than 3 pages
  7. Please: No Google Docs either – we do not have permission to open them and getting one from you is too complex
  8. A FAIR WARNING: if you don’t customize your CV don’t expect that it will go through with flying colors and the client will invite you for an interview

.

We are looking forward to receiving your CV and meeting with you this week.
