Your CV must be well presented; it is essentially a selling document. It is a presentation of your achievements and needs to create an interest to the person who opens your envelope.
Generally your CV must not be more than two/three pages long. It needs to be clear, concise, and factual, and must demonstrate your ability to do the job you are applying for. We think your CV should include the following:
|
1. |
The first page should contain personal details for a recruitment consultant or an employer if they need to contact you. |
| |
|
2. |
Ensure that the format of your CV/Resume is in key headings e.g.
a. Key skills
b. Key achievements etc |
| |
|
3. |
Your employment history should commence with your current or most recent position and work backwards. |
| |
|
4. |
Information provided must clearly demonstrate your ability to do the job. |
| |
|
5. |
Achievements should be bullet points and indicate your role, action taken and the result of that action. |
| |
|
6. |
Make sure you leave out details that are irrelevant. |
| |
|
7. |
If the information on the advert specifically asks for certain skills, make sure they are at the top of the CV/Resume. |
| |
|
8. |
Make sure you include a brief summary of your educational details, training courses attended and professional memberships. Do not put information in that isn't pertinent to the position. |
| |
|
9. |
You can include hobbies and interests as they show the employer your potential personality traits or maybe even skills like leadership or team membership. It is not essential to include this. |
