Contractors 'should be honest with any work done when travelling abroad'
Posted by John Crawley
Contractors with an umbrella company have been urged to put in their CVs about any travelling they may have done.
However, rather then saying they went somewhere to sunbathe and relax, fill this in by giving a bit of information about any work carried out while abroad, as this may make the client want to know more about this pursuit.
This is according to Russell Dyer, who works for Accendo Career Management Services, among the UK's leading CV writing experts, in which he also pointed out that there are two golden rules when writing a CV.
One is that a contractor should never lie when writing a resume, no matter how competitive a working industry may be, whereas the other states that it should illustrate the best aspects to the contractor.
In regards to taking a trip away, say for a month, Mr Dyer believes a contractor could put in anything interesting their did during this time, but being honest throughout.
He said: "The key is to remove any doubt from the mind of your CV reader/hiring manager or agent."
