CV Tips

Here are a few tips on what to do and more importantly not do with regards to creating your Curriculum Vitae.

A CV is a vital tool for getting you noticed in the job market – it represents you and it is therefore worth spending a significantly amount of time and effort to get it right.

Here's how:

  • Be clear about what you are looking for and ensure that your CV supports your vision and experience
  • Summarise your skills and areas of expertise
  • Ensure that your name is on every page
  • Include achievements rather than just listing responsibilities
  • Be concise, your CV should ideally be no more than 3 pages no one wants to read a 20 page CV!
  • Ensure that the way that your CV is presented is visually appealing. Use plenty of white space, use appropriate headings and short paragraphs so that it is easy to read.
  • Ensure you have the appropriate keywords contained within your CV for your industry/profession. Employers and Recruiters use keyword searches to access candidate databases and shortlist them.
