As a result of this, the book will also provide CV templates and covering letters for free download and immediate use. The templates will be 'all purpose' - from graduates to executives, and including templates for special cases', e.g. legal, medical, IT, teaching, etc. The distinctive feature of the book nothing quite like it exists in competing titles - is a section on 15 common CV mistakes and how to avoid them (all based on extensive statistical analysis the company has undertaken of many thousands of CVs). Statistics have shown that only a tiny percentage of the CVs manage to avoid the mistakes and most make several of the mistakes. Avoiding these mistakes makes all the difference to whether the CV ends up in the yes' pile or the no' pile.
