- 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.
