Meet Barney the owl, CV-Library's wise guide

Several years ago Barney was created by the CV-Library team at a rather luxurious barn conversion in Fleet, Hampshire. Since then he's been helping the business through his natural wisdom combined with a 360-degree view of the recruitment market. He has become a well-recognised figure while helping CV-Library grow into the UK's leading independent job site. Check out his CV!

Barney the owl

About me

I am Barney the blue owl, the official face of CV-Library. Working with my business partner, Lee Biggins, I help job hunters find their perfect roles and match recruiters with the ideal candidates. I enjoy slashing commutes, accelerating promotions and improving job satisfaction. If you want a new job, I'm your owl!

Experience

CV-Library

By day, you'll see me on modelling shoots for CV-Library's advertising campaigns and helping candidates to search our job board, find vacancies and apply for them quickly. By night, I'm putting job alert emails together, monitoring CV Watchdogs and making sure our clients are all set to advertise, search and recruit when morning comes around.

My personal career highlight was when I starred in CV-Library's first ever TV advert in 2012, guiding candidates through the website. Flying through all those opportunities was a great wing workout!

Candidate adviser

I began my career by advising candidates from all walks of life on how to get the most out of their job search. With my help they can create winning CVs, ace interviews and find great jobs and this is still something I'm actively involved in at CV-Library.

Lifetime of wisdom

I'm a wise owl, and I've been around a while so you'll have to get up pretty early to outsmart me!

Goals

I am very ambitious and believe that CV-Library and I can help everyone who needs a job. For that reason I want to stretch my wings beyond the UK. Watch this space, you might just be seeing more of me...
