Local business woman, Tracy Stephen, of Optimise Recruitment, has come up with an innovative way to raise funds for Sue Ryder, as part of the Big Wigs Business Challenge.
Writing your CV can be one of the most challenging and also important things you may have to do within your career and as a recruitment agent Tracy is an expert in all things CV. Using this knowledge she created writemycv.info.
Tracy said “With a free CV review you can be rest assured that your CV will get you more interviews, turning a frustration into excitement. At writemycv.info we not only discuss with you how to create a successful CV, but we will write it for you and send you an electronic copy. All of the profits at the end of January 2012 will be given to the Sue Ryder Big Wigs Business Challenge. Remember your CV is the first impression and you only get 2-3 seconds to make it the right one...so make it count”
All money raised from the event is vital funds that will help Sue Ryder continue to provide quality care for people living with end of life and long-term conditions including; Cancer, Stroke, Brain Injury, Multiple Sclerosis, Dementia, Huntington’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease and Motor Neurone Disease.
Last month Sue Ryder challenged budding entrepreneurs in Northamptonshire to use their business skills and money making acumen to utilise £50 as creatively as possible to raise vital funds for Sue Ryder.
There are many awards up for grabs during the challenge recognising different business skill and the Big Wigs will be invited to an award ceremony at the end of the challenge to thank and reward the participants. Awards include the Charity Entrepreneur of the Year award, awarded to the person or team who raises the most money overall during the Big Wigs period, the Ambassador award, for the person who best champions the work of the charity and the Innovative award for the fundraiser who has the most innovative or unusual fundraising idea, just to name a few.
Emma Long, at Sue Ryder said, “This is a fantastic business idea and really grasps the idea of the Big Wigs Business Challenge, challenge business men and women to use their skills to raise funds. What a fantastic way to help charity whilst looking for a new job.”
