CV Tips
Tips for a Top CV Listed below are a few guidelines to assist you in your search for a new career path. Good Luck!
- Start with your latest job first, it makes it easier for the Client to read
- Don't try to put too much information on your CV.
- Use a legible font size, 11pt Arial or Times New Roman are advisable.
- Always check your CV for spelling mistakes using an English spell checker.
- Be honest, don't pad your CV out with experiences that you don't have.
- Before naming references on your CV, seek their consent and that you have the correct details. Ensure your referees are still at the same employment.
- Before sending your CV, get some feedback from the agencies that you are registered with or from someone with a keen eye. Check for content, clarity and emphasis.
- Use a bold typeface only to emphasise. Do not overuse as it distracts from additional important information.
- When emailing your CV, ensure you use a standard file format, an RTF is usually the safest format as not everyone is using the latest upgrades to software.
- If you are sending your CV via email, do not forget to attach the file - it is easily forgotten
