ES CV WRITING

WHAT IS A CV?

A CV (Curriculum Vitae) is a short list of facts about you, your work experience and your qualifications and skills. A CV is often the first thing an employer looks at, so it is essential that you create a good first impression and sell yourself in the best possible way.

CV TIPS

Make sure that your CV is correct and all spelling and punctuation is checked. Ask someone to double check it for you.

Try to type your CV on a computer using a standard font such as Arial. Keep it simple, make headings bold and avoid using fancy fonts or clip art.

Keep it short and to the point. A double side of A4 is enough.

Be positive, your CV is selling you to an employer. Tell them about your qualifications, achievements, awards, strengths and interests.

Don’t forget to include your name, address, phone number and email.

INTERVIEW TIPSInterviews can be one of the most nerve-racking aspects of job hunting. But there are plenty of ways to calm those interview nerves!

Plan for your interview. Research the company and find out what they do. Think about any questions you may wish to ask them.

Dress smartly. If you look good you will feel positive.

Turn up on time and give yourself plenty of time to get there. Aim to arrive at least ten minutes before your appointment - they won’t mind if you are early.

Make sure that you answer any questions fully, don’t just say yes or no. Give some examples, speak clearly and make eye contact with the person asking the question.

Don’t worry if you don’t understand the question – ask them to repeat it.

PROGRESSION

Upon successful completion of your Assistant Accountant Standard you can progress onto the Professional Accounting Apprenticeship Level 4.

END-POINT ASSESSMENT

The end-point assessment has 2 components which have been designed to be completed once the Apprentice has finished the on-programme learner journey. Both components will need to be passed in order for the Apprentice to be awarded the Apprenticeship.

Apprentices will be expected to complete:

A synoptic end-test covering the knowledge and skills gained throughout the on-programme stage and detailed in the standard.

A portfolio and reflective discussion which will comprise a range of evidence produced in the work-place to show that the Apprentice has met the knowledge, skills and behaviours detailed in the standard. The reflective discussion will be a structured interview to examine this evidence and the learner journey in more detail.

Apprentices can therefore expect to be assessed through a combination of testing in controlled conditions, evidence produced in the work-place and recorded interview, therefore comprehensively examining the work they have completed.

END-POINT ASSESSMENT

Many Employers now state that the demonstration of professional Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours in the workplace is as important as demonstrating competency in an Examination. Our choice of End-point Assessment therefore reflects this feedback.

The End-point Assessment will comprise two components and will be assessed by an Approved End Point Assessment Organisation. Both components must be individually passed for the Apprentice to be deemed competent:

• A Portfolio of evidence that demonstrates competence in the Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours defined in the Standard, which have been gathered from practical experience in the workplace. This can include outputs from work, independent feedback, observations and professional discussions. The Apprentice must then produce a Reflective Statement that reflects on this Portfolio, either through a written statement, presentation or structured discussion with Independent Assessors appointed by an Assessment Organisation.

• A synoptic assessment giving the apprentice the opportunity to tackle a series of business-related tasks through a simulation that reflects activities undertaken in a typical role at this level of competence. An Assessment Organisation will set the simulation, ensure robust invigilation and mark the assessment.

PROGRESSION

The Professional Accounting standard allows student registration with a number of UK Professional Bodies in this sector. This may lead to the candidate receiving credits towards the completion of the Professional Accountant Apprenticeship or Chartered Accountancy qualifications provided by the relevant Professional Bodies. Completion of the Professional Accounting Apprenticeship may also result in credits being awarded towards relevant undergraduate degree programmes.

ES COURSE DETAILS

It comprises of a Level 4 work based NVQ and 7 assignments over a two year period.

1. BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION SYSTEMS This unit gives you an understanding of administrative systems in organisations and the contribution of systems thinking to efficient administrative performance. There is a focus on understanding how the role and function of policies and procedures enable organisations to meet customer requirements.

2. COMMUNICATING IN A BUSINESS This unit gives you an understanding of the role of communication in an organisation. It also helps you to understand the importance of being able to communicate information effectively so that all decision making contributes to the achievement of an organisations goals.

You will also learn that some organisations use a hierarchical communication model, some use a flatter, lateral model and others adopt a networked approach. Hierarchical models keep different levels of staff informed but communications and the consequent decision making can be slow. Lateral communication models speed up information flow, facilitating quicker decision making as information does not need to move up and down hierarchies. In organisations the speed of communication often provides a competitive advantage.

3. HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT An introduction to the concepts and practices of human resource management and focuses on the management of recruitment, retention and employment cessation.

Occasionally employment has to be terminated. However, the focus of human resource management has moved beyond personnel management towards a more proactive approach that, in addition to the traditional roles associated with staff management, also considers how to get the best people and the best out of people so that they work in roles and in ways that are closely aligned to organisational objectives. This often leads to the common place assertion by many senior managers that ‘Our employees are our most valuable resource’. In this unit, you will consider how human resource management deals with these aspects of working.

Human resource management takes place against a background of organisational needs, policies and procedures, shaped by legal and regulatory requirements. In this unit, you will learn about UK, national and European legislation.

4. MANAGING SELF-DEVELOPMENT The aim of the unit is to give learners an understanding of how to manage self-development so that it contributes to the learner’s achievement of career and personal goals in respect of their work role and professional development.

In this unit, you will gain the knowledge on how to manage self-development so that it contributes to the achievement of career and personal goals and learn how it links to the work role and professional development. You will also consider how to identify own development needs by understanding how to carry out a skills audit and how to evaluate the current and evolving requirements of your work role in order to inform self-development.

5. PRINCIPLES OF CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGEMENT You will gain knowledge and understanding of customer service principles and the systems required in a management role. The unit also identifies the links between management responsibilities and the key principles of leadership & management.

Management responsibilities in a role directly related to customer service, generally involve a set of skills, knowledge and understanding of systems that might be expected of any manager. However, the nature of customer service means that there are further skills and knowledge needed when specific customer service responsibilities are undertaken. You will analyse current trends in customer retention and journey mapping.

6. MANAGING PEOPLE AND PERFORMANCE This unit is to develop your knowledge and understanding of the skills needed for managing people and performance in the workplace. Learners will do this through understanding the importance of learning and development and the role of leadership for effective team working.

Effective people management is essential for business success and staff training and learning and development are key to achieving it. Managers need to understand the patterns of behaviour that individuals and groups display in order to take appropriate actions. In this unit, you will examine how characteristics, such as individual differences of needs and wants have an impact on organisational behaviour.

7. PRINCIPLES OF MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP IN ORGANISATIONS This unit provides you with an

understanding of the concepts of leadership and managerial effectiveness within organisations. The unit also provides an introduction to the principles and practices of managing the performance of individuals in organisations.

In this unit you will learn about management and leadership in organisations and how to interpret and use the key terms such as levels, leadership, management, responsibility and accountability, vision and values. You will also gain an understanding of how organisations develop managerial effectiveness through delegation and various methods of leadership development. You will go on to find out how workplace performance is managed through formal performance management schemes and also through coaching and mentoring and the use of effective communication.
