Most fashion buyer CVs share the same problem: they read like a job description. They list responsibilities, use business jargon, and tell what a buyer was supposed to do not what they actually achieved or what they can bring to a new role.Elisabeth Mac Hale has worked in Fashion Buying for more than 25 years and reviewed hundreds of buyer CV's. In this episode she shares what she consistently sees on the CVs that don't make it through the initial review, and what the ones that land at the top of the pile actually contain. She covers the mistakes that cost candidates an opportunity before anyone has read a word, the difference between responsibilities and achievements, and how the CV opens the door to the next stage..
