Who Else Wants Their Phone Ringing Off The Hook With Quality Job Interviews?

CV Writing Basics

A well written CV will increase your chances of being selected for a job interview.

When you have a well written and professional CV, it can make all the difference between job searching and job finding!

Start off your CV with basic information, including your name and your contact details. Make sure that you provide more than one method of contacting you, like mobile number and email address. This will ensure that you do not miss out on any opportunities.

Adding further personal details like Age, Gender & Nationality is optional but not essential. In the current market it is less common to include this information. This may depend on the country that you are residing in and also the job industry that you work in.

Always remember that all of your information should be up to date.

What is your career goal? Consider where you want to be and what your ambitions are; this should be no longer than three concise lines.

Following your career objective, write about your academic background and qualifications. Start with your most recent studies and make sure that you write down the name of the institute as well as the dates of course taken.

Work experience should be listed down, starting with the most recent or current role. Make sure that you include the title of the job you held, whether it was full time or part time and how long your employment lasted. List your duties and the responsibilities, using bullets if possible.

Finally, always make sure that you put down contactable work references that your recruiter can contact.

Carefully choose your words when writing a CV, as most software used with the leading job boards, searches the CV database for specific key words from the CV. It is therefore important to include any additional training completed, software used and achievements.
