Career Advice - CV Advice (Cont.)
The content of your CV
-
A CV should be a maximum of two sides of A4 paper
-
Always tailor your CV for each job you are applying for. You are
likely to have more success sending out a few tailored CV's than hundreds of
general ones
-
Think carefully before you begin. Your CV should be organised, easy
to read and interesting. Use headings, short sentences or bullet points
to get the information across clearly
-
Use specific terms rather than general phrases - "I have four years
experience of" is better than "I have wide experience of"
-
Stick to your personal achievements - phrases like "took part in" suggest
that you were not closely involved
-
Use plain English, avoiding repetition of words such as "I"
-
Be honest and accurate - remember this information is likely to form the
basis of your interview
