Machine Binding


In today's market winning and losing may very well depend on the final presentation wither it be applying for a job or tendering for a contract. The would be employer will most definitely score you on your presentation.

Especially in today's competitive market, therefore its wise to consider just how your presentation will look when stacked up against your competition.

Most job applications will most likely be handled via email attachments which is the first hurdle. So think about it for a moment and consider yourself in the employers position. Most likely all email applications will be handled by an HR secretary who will spend perhaps 20 to 30 seconds scanning the applications, then selecting the ones filling the vacancy criteria which she will process for further evaluation or invitation to interview. Therefore your C.V. should be no more than two pages clearly legible and be straight to the point. However when and if you are invited to interview it is sometimes wise to take along a nicely bound copy of your C.V. in which you can include more detail and it is less likely to become misplaced when final adjudications are being made.

Also when small to medium business are competing for contracts the presentation of a tender in a neatly bound format will be received more readily as opposed to an attachment sent by email setting the tone of your company and can also assist in your company branding if bound correctly.

This is most often a vital piece of equipment that most companies overlook but should in actual fact become standard for any small company hoping to expand and involves very little investment.
