Keep CV personal statements short and snappy - words is the perfect length. Discover how to write a personal statement for your CV. Education - List and date all previous education, including professional qualifications. Place the most recent first.
Mention specific modules only where relevant. Work experience - List your work experience in reverse date order, making sure that anything you mention is relevant to the job you're applying for. Include your job title, the name of the company, how long you were with the organisation and key responsibilities. If you have plenty of relevant work experience, this section should come before education.
Skills and achievements - This is where you talk about the foreign languages you speak and the IT packages you can competently use. The key skills that you list should be relevant to the job. Don't exaggerate your abilities, as you'll need to back up your claims at interview.
If you've got lots of job-specific skills you should do a skills-based CV. Interests - 'Socialising', 'going to the cinema' and 'reading' aren't going to catch a recruiters attention. However, relevant interests can provide a more complete picture of who you are, as well as giving you something to talk about at interview.
Examples include writing your own blog or community newsletters if you want to be a journalist, being part of a drama group if you're looking to get into sales and your involvement in climate change activism if you'd like an environmental job. If you don't have any relevant hobbies or interests leave this section out. References - You don't need to provide the names of referees at this stage.
You can say 'references available upon request' but most employers would assume this to be the case so if you're stuck for space you can leave this out. CV format Avoid titling the document 'curriculum vitae' or 'CV '. It's a waste of space. Instead let your name serve as the title. Section headings are a good way to break up your CV. Ensure they stand out by making them larger font size 14 or 16 and bold.
Avoid fonts such as Comic Sans. Use a font size between 10 and 12 to make sure that potential employers can read your CV. Ensure all fonts and font sizes are consistent throughout.
List everything in reverse chronological order. Then the recruiter sees your work history and most recent achievements first. Keep it concise by using clear spacing and bullet points.
