Preparing Your CV
Whilst looking for a job, your CV is your most important
selling tool. Prospective employers will use it to decide if they want to see
you for interview. Content is important but so is presentation. Invest some time
in producing a professional CV and your reward will be healthy interest from a
number of companies.
Content and Presentation
Take into account that employers are busy, so limit your CV
to a maximum of two sides of A4. You should aim to place all the most important
information (personal details, education, current job, relevant skills) on the
first page.
Key points to keep in mind when preparing your CV are:
-
Keep information factual and to the point
-
Use bullet points where possible
-
Cite examples wherever possible to describe your skills and
experience
-
Be honest – you’ll have to talk through your CV at the
interview
-
Keep the layout clean and organised
-
Always double check for spelling and grammatical errors
