CVs

'Golden rule' - a one size fits all CV doesn't work, you must adapt your CV for every application that you make.

  • Keep the CV to 2 pages, make it relevant to the role so that the employer will want to meet you.
  • Use a true type font, times new roman, ariel or garamond are good.
  • Always include a personal profile and adapt it for each application.
  • Ensure layout, format of dates and headings are consistent.
  • Include your achievements in each role, don't just list your duties.
  • Explain any gaps between positions.
  • Check spelling, grammar and punctuation. 
  • Don't include a photograph
