CV Advice
The importance of a well written and presented CV is sometimes underestimated, this is often the first contact clients will have with you so you should view your CV as a ‘sales tool’ something that will get the readers interested from the get go.
The basic structure of a CV should follow the format below:
- Personal Details
- Education – Where your study was taken and what grades you achieved.
- Work Experience – Starting with the most recent role first you should aim to show the level of experience and responsibility you have, try to use bullet points where possible highlighting any key achievements in your role. Large sections of text are often ignored as clients want a short, sharp snap shot of your experience and to not be bogged down with reams of unecessary information.
- Interests – It is good to offer potential employers an insight into the person who is applying for a role outside of their academic and work experience.
