Financial Times 18th July 2002 Richard Donkin "The Faust's are right to suggest the traditional CV has become an arcane document" "A more effective CV, they say, explains who you are and how you work" "if, we know that recruiters are looking for competencies we need to make sure that they are easily identifiable in our CV," Evening Standard 28th October 2002 Justine Speller "Replace the CV with the "Elevator Pitch", a clear and concise sales tool to maximise opportunities and open doors. It focuses on your traits, skills, abilities and methods to define and predict how you will perform in the future, rather than what you did in the past." "A straightforward, clear and concise read. Not only do you gain a true insight into your true capabilities, but also you gain an effective format that will work for both you and your potential employer." London Business School: Angela Harris: Director, Careers Management Centre "The traditional CV sucks the personality out of the words and it becomes a shadow of the candidate's promise. The Elevator Pitch breathes life back in and is grounded in hard evidence. Since I've been recommending the Faust's book to our students, I've seen some fabulous pitches" Endorsements: "The War for Talent is here to stay. In their search for the best people, recruiters will need to work harder. The Elevator Pitch will make it easier for them. Its clarity and focus will propel the best suited candidates straight to interviewÉ.. Why not give yourself this unfair advantage?" Iain Herbertson: CEO Manpower PLC. The worlds biggest employment agency "I hope it becomes industry standard" Jack Gratton: CEO Major Players leading marketing & services recruitment agency "Clear, concise and compelling - Pitch Yourself drags the traditional CV kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Its essential reading." Rob Grimsey: Director Harvey Nash / FirstPersonGlobal "Ever felt frustrated by your CV's inability to sell the real you? Worry no more. The Elevator Pitch can really transform the way you're seen by prospective employers. Do yours now before everyone else cottons on."
