Folks, I am looking for any advice people can offer here. Long story cut short, I am very keen to leave (eg utterly desperate) to leave the civil service. I have applied for several 'intro to defence consulting' roles with major companies where they are trying to bring across experienced CS or Mil staff with the right experience.
I have so far failed to get even an initial interview in any of my applications, and I am getting rejected out of hand with all the main firms. I've spent a lot of time on CVs and covering letters to show how my experience matches their requirements (eg policy design, implementation and so on) and I have the right clearances they want, but I just cant get a break.
I would really appreciate any advice people could pffer as to what the firms who look for people to come into these roles, which are clearly marked as not needing prior consulting backgrounds posts are actually looking for as at the moment I am stumped about what I am doing wrong and how I can do better.
Any advice hugely appreciated!
