It opened up new ways of showcasing my professional experience and personality. I am now a Product Owner and over the last two months in the role, I have thought about Enhancv almost every day. Remember to be confident and if you make it to an interview, remember to ask the question ‘Did I cover everything you wanted to learn today?’ My other advice to candidates seeking work is to apply for roles that resolve market gaps/opportunities as these are the most willing/open and offer the least comfort/challenge. In today’s changing landscape, we have no choice but to move often and learn things along the way. Historically, staff would stay employed in an organization for 10+ years and this would form their life.

The role of recruitment in the market has entirely changed. When it comes to searching for a role, having the right resume definitely helps getting from the searching phase into actually landing a job. What message would you send to other job seekers out there? Enhancv’s icons (for example the Superman), types of sections, tips & examples and ability to change templates are therefore very suited to a person who has Autism. We often prefer very visual methods of communication as this is often the way we are taught to communicate from childhood.įor example, when I was young, I used emotion cards to show others how I feel as I would struggle to explain it. Those who have my condition struggle to describe their talent, skills, and experience. What do you like about Enhancv? Did you learn anything from it?Īs an Autistic, creating a more visual resume with Enhancv in such a simple structure helped me to communicate my abilities clearer. That’s why I wanted to create a visually stimulating CV to sell myself better, get my foot through the door. Also, I wanted to move to Product Ownership. They seemed tentative, trapped and bored. As a Technical Business Analyst, I wanted to get involved in driving a product vision as opposed to being part of the development team.Īll around me, I witnessed staff who had been doing the same job for 10+ years. I had become bored in the position I was working in for the Financial Conduct Authority. What was the reason you created your resume? I have lived with a high functioning strand of Autism (PDD) my entire life. I’m passionate about AGILE, Tableau, traveling and photography.
