Smiling is one of the most under used tools in any job seekers arsenal. This is especially important when conducting telephone interviews.
Employers will quite often gauge someone’s ability based on the tone of their voice, if you're having a telephone interview and you sound down and depressed not only does the interviewer pick up on that but it’s quite often the case they ten associate that with other negative traits such as incompetence.
A simple thing like smiling can make a big difference face to face job interview but especially over the phone. It makes your voice sound more pleasant and even if you aren't feeling particularly positive your voice will convey that you are positive.
So big tip for today is always wear a smile! :)

CV writing tips: Make your CV relevant to the position applied for
One big mistake a lot of job seekers make is not to tailor their CV to the jobs they are applying for.
You should never use one generic CV which you send for all job applications, you should always edit the content to make sure it is as relevant to the employers needs as possible.
If you have professional certifications only include those relevant to the position applied for.
If you have a vision statement or an aim, make sure it’s relevant to the employers requirements and can demonstrate how you can fill their needs.
If you have performance figures which will be relevant to the employers’ requirements make sure you have those figures in your CV and they are easily noticed!
Far too many job seekers bog down their CV's with content which isn't relevant to the specific job applied for, in turn this bores the line manager or HR representative reading it and you resume will not get the due attention it deserves.
A tool I have found particulary useful with resume advice and just about every other aspect of your job search take a look:
