Elizabeth, that is more on the lines of what I'm thinking.

MatthewLaSon... Would this be more on the lines of what you're thinking?

what is the point of "aiming right" or "hitting the mark"? Is it not to get hired? Why else are you using this resume distribution service? Sending your resume to the "right places" is all about getting a job you want. That was what my whole idea about "means" vs. "ends" was all about. Perhaps in English, we're more likely to talk about the "end goal" and not the means toward the end.

I'm just not sure how we say this most naturally in English. That said, I'm not saying that you're translation is wrong in any way, Elizabeth.

If you want to be more subtle and not cut the chase, then just say "Get what you want!"

I think the French is saying much more than just "get hired". I think it's the idea of sending out the right CV to the right audience rather than it just falling into the right employer's hands. The service is hopefully more sophisticated. For example see: http://www.cvthatworks.com/

The idea is simply that you'll get hired because your resume/CV will have fallen into the right employer's hands. And I don't think we have to limit ourselves to the words "aiming" and "target", or even "hit the mark".

Perhaps it's best also to translate this in English by the end and not the means (French tells you the "means" by "aiming right".). Either way, the same idea is brought across.

Finally, look to see what is naturally said in English on a CV/resume distribution site like Monster.com

Or "Target the right jobs" or "Target the right employers"
