5 Simple CV Writing Tips
5 Simple CV Writing Tips
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined. ~ Henry Thoreau

Personal details

Make sure your name, address, phone number and email address are current and easily visible. This will make it simpler for potential employers to get in touch with you.

Education and qualification details

List the names of schools and academies you have attended along with the years you were there and the highest grades passed; be sure to put your most recent achievements first.

Employment history

List all your applicable work experience, including job titles, company names, start and finish dates and your duties while employed there. List achievements and responsibilities, but also specific ways in which you helped the company achieve its goals.

Additional Skills

Add to your resume any skills that you have developed that are relevant to the post you are applying for, i.e. organisational skills, computer skills – MS packages, Photoshop, etc.

Referees: addresses of two

Include at least two references - one of these references must be your current or most recent employer. Include their name, job title, company, company address, telephone number and email address.

Cover Letter

Some companies expect a cover letter with CV. This letter gives you a better chance to get across your personality, ambitions, and to explain any gaps in your CV. The other important thing when writing a CV is to make sure you check your spelling and use a good, simple format.
