But speculative applications have some unique benefits, particularly in the charity sector. Sending in a speculative CV may be a way to build a rapport with an organisation that shares your values.\r\n\r\nThere\u2019s just one small snag: the charity might not actually be looking to bring in anyone new. So you have to go above and beyond to convince them that they need you. Because of this, speculative CVs are a little more challenging to craft.\r\n\r\nNot sure where to begin? Here are a few tips to help you get started.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"Think about your entry point","content":"<h2>Do: Think about your entry point<\/h2>\r\nWhen you reply to a job advert, you\u2019ll know exactly who you\u2019re contacting. Sending through a speculative application is no different. Try to find a live job advert for the organisation, but for a different role, and send your CV to that hiring manager. Acknowledge where you found their details and why you\u2019re contacting them.\r\n\r\nIf they aren\u2019t hiring for any roles, you can scour their website or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/signup\/cold-join?session_redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Elinkedin%2Ecom%2Ffeed%2F&amp;trk=login_reg_redirect\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a> for relevant department heads or HR professionals. You can even try phoning first, and then following up with your CV.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Don\u2019t: Get in touch if you\u2019ve applied to work for them quite recently<\/h2>\r\nMost organisations keep a record of candidates. When you apply for jobs, you normally give permission for them to hold your details on file, usually for up to a year. So sending your CV again when you\u2019ve recently applied for another role is like nagging."},{"acf_fc_layout":"single_image","menu_title":"","image":12767,"image_link":"","image_link_new_tab":false},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"Tailor your CV to the organisation","content":"<h2>Do: Tailor your CV to the organisation<\/h2>\r\nIt\u2019s even more important not to send something generic for a speculative application. Instead, really tailor it to what you have to offer the organisation and why they\u2019ll benefit from having you and your skills on board. This will require some research and effort but it\u2019s the most important point. Find out the charity\u2019s current objectives and shape your CV to address these. Similarly, identify their organisational culture and make sure you mould your speculative CV to this.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Don\u2019t: Cut corners<\/h2>\r\nWith speculative applications, you can\u2019t cut corners by sending out a standard CV and cover letter. Remember, you really want to work for this charity. So invest the time in making your application unique. They want to see that you\u2019re interested in them specifically, not just blasting out applications to everyone."},{"acf_fc_layout":"single_image","menu_title":"","image":12708,"image_link":"","image_link_new_tab":false},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"Include a cover letter","content":"<h2>Do: Include a cover letter<\/h2>\r\nKeep in mind, your CV will be arriving out of the blue.

Instead, you have to do the homework regarding which characteristics are most likely to get you noticed. That\u2019s why a phone call in advance can help, as well as hunting on LinkedIn for others working at the charity in similar roles."},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"Answer the obvious questions","content":"<h2>Do: Answer the obvious questions<\/h2>\r\nHiring managers will likely be left with more questions from a speculative application than from a normal job application. They may wonder why you\u2019re applying to them, or why you\u2019re applying now. It\u2019s worth explaining the motivations behind your career move, as well as any other important information such as your notice period.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Don\u2019t: Close doors<\/h2>\r\nThe last thing you want to do is accidentally cut off future opportunities by limiting the scope of your application. Make sure you leave things open-ended enough so that even if the charity doesn\u2019t have a position for you right now, you\u2019ll be there in their mind when they do. Avoid using narrow job titles, but do give evidence of how you\u2019ve made positive contributions in ways that would benefit this organisation. Make your CV skill-heavy.\r\n\r\nAs with any CV, take time to proofread and ensure it\u2019s easy-to-read. With a speculative CV, you need to do everything that you would normally, but then take it to the next level.\r\n\r\n<strong>Need help starting your CV?
