Antoinette Tigar
After studying journalism and public relations, Antoinette worked for 12 years in human resources, marketing and advertising (writing copy for corporate publications and media campaigns) before identifying the need for a professional CV-writing service.
When a friend was retrenched and asked her for help with her CV, she started internet research on CV construction and job hunting, soon realizing that South Africa is way behind international trends, where the CV format and content is concerned.
After extensive research, which included interviews with top-level South African recruitment consultants, corporate HR managers and individual employers, she developed the unique Power-CV© format, combining maximum information with great "reader appeal". Find out more at layout.
Besides writing hundreds of CV's and Résumés for clients ranging from I.T. Professionals to Banking Executives, Antoinette has published articles on the subject of job search techniques in the print and electronic media. She is also a regular contributor to the Sunday Times/CareerJunction website.
