Tips on how to write your CV
In: CV writing tips
11 Mar 2010- Use clear formating on your CV – there’s no point having having great content if it is horrible to look at!
- Don’t make your CV too long – your Curriculum Vitae isn’t an essay!
- Only certain groups of people need photos on their CV (actors, models, etc) – NOT everyone!
- Your CV /Resume is about tomorrow, not yesterday.Concentrate on experience and achievement that equips you for an even better future and leave out stuff you have gone beyond.
- Put yourself in the mind of the reader and ask what will make them excited. Your CV is not a list of demands for what you want so don’t focus on an objective or a naive profile; replace both with a strong but simple list of the assets (knowledge, skills,track records, achievements) that you will contribute to your NEXT employer.
- SPELLING. Check it once. Check it twice. Have others read it.
- There is no conventional grammar in a CV -resume (it’s all bullets; phrases; headlines and captions) so turn the grammar checker OFF and don’t try to use full sentences.
- Never use the first person, I, me, we, our – unless you are very young and want to seem cute.
- No text boxes or tables under any circumstances; agencies may wish to manipulate and reformat your CV and that will hinder them.
- Watch for repetitions like “responsible for” and try to make your points more than just a job spec or an embarrassing list of “action words” – being all functional and results biased is already old hat – read our advice for more sophisticated and thoughtful alternatives.
