Your CV is often the first and sometimes only communication
you will have with any potential employer, so it needs
to make a good first impression.
So, what makes the perfect CV?
Well, what may seem perfect to one employer
may not be what another employer is looking for. The
key is to adapt your CV and make it relevant to the
role you are applying for. Expand on the areas in which
you feel make you an ideal candidate for the position
and give examples of your skills and experience. Bullet
points often help in ensuring the information is clear
and concise.
Your CV should not be any longer than 3 pages in length
ideally 2 pages should suffice. Start with your personal
information (name, address, telephone number etc).
You may also wish to add an opening statement about
yourself.
Next you should provide your work history, starting
with the most recent position first, giving the job
title and detailing what your responsibilities were,
together with the dates you were employed.
Do remember to account for any gaps in-between employment.
Finally, you should list your education, starting with
the most recent qualification received, including dates
of study etc.
