About

Hi. I'm Brian Cahill.

I have over 30 years commercial experience with Gulf Oil, International Computers Limited, L.M. Ericsson, Philips and Siemens in IT, Sales and Marketing, Line and General Manager positions. I have also worked with the Management and Skills Training organisation delivering courses in Sales, Customer Service and Telephone Techniques.

I have also been involved in the recruitment business working as Business Development Manager for a specialist consultancy targeting the IT, Finance and Legal sectors.

The information is based on my business knowledge and on my experience reviewing thousands of CV's and personally interviewing hundreds of candidates.

Most candidates represent themselves poorly on their CV and very many do not interview well - despite having the credentials for the job. In todays ruthlessly competitive markets, if you don't understand how CV's are evaluated and tailor your approach accordingly you will not reach interview stage.

Having reached interview stage many candidates make the mistake of telling themselves that they are going to an interview instead of ruthlessly approaching it as a sales situation. Unless a salesman knows their product, its uniqueness in the market and the benefits it can bring to a company they will fail. And it's the same at interview, Know who you are and know how to sell who you are. That way, you'll have the competitive edge!

I hope my examples, suggestions and advice help you re-evaluate yourself and make a real difference to you.

Best of luck!

Brian.
