Most people don't even consider CV direction, but it's actually very important.
A lot of people have CVs which send out mixed messages. This is fine if you want to come across as a jack of all trades, but it's not particularly helpful if you want an employer to sit up and take notice of your specialist skills.
When you write your CV you, therefore, also need to consider the direction. Not only that, but it shouldn't just be any direction - specifically target and write with the employer in mind.
Again, this is easier said than done, and if you need help in this respect then you should consider asking a professional for guidance.
