CV Guide
An employer will see your CV before selecting whether or not to interview you.
Therefore it is important to get yourself noticed with an outstanding CV and possibly also a cover letter.
You need to highlight
your achievements and reflect positively on all of your professional
experience.
Our useful tips have been designed to help you construct a CV that is not only exemplary, but also exhibits your strengths.
Your recruitment consultant can also offer
advice on how to set out your CV to provide a long lasting impression.
Here are some general tips:
CV Do’s
·
Make sure that your
CV is adapted to meet the criteria of the role. After looking at the job specification,
identify which points you have experience in and make sure you have mentioned
them in your CV. This will enable a
potential employer to easily determine whether or not you will be suitable for
the role.
·
Be positive
throughout your CV. Convey your
achievements, strengths, personality, and aspirations for success.
·
Also communicate any
relevant skills, which may put you at an advantage. These could include foreign languages,
and training courses etc.
·
Place greater
emphasis on your most recent positions and summarize roles more than three years
old.
·
Include dates, length
of employment, and reasons for leaving
·
Ensure that there are
no gaps in dates between employments.
If you have previously taken a career break, for whatever reason, mention
this.
·
Do not lie on your
CV. There are many ways in which
you can be caught out- and if an interviewer notices any discrepancies, this
will place you at a disadvantage.
·
Finally, check for
spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and presentation errors. Then ask a friend or colleague to check
through your CV again, to ensure you have not missed
anything.
CV Don’ts
·
Send out a poor
quality CV. This will deter an
employer from wanting to interview you.
·
If you do not take
the time to create a professional document, an employer will feel that you are
lazy, and unable to fulfil the requirements of the job.
·
Lie on you CV. Honesty is always the best policy. Your success will be hindered if you are
caught out during the interview process.
·
Enclose any details
about your current salary or salary expectations. These details are negotiable at a later
stage.
