A
CV is a short list of facts about you and your work history, skills and experience. A good CV is essential when looking for work and it is worth spending time getting it right so it sells you to an employer.
Your CV should:
•
be neat – typed if possible and to the best standard you can achieve in content and layout
•
be short – two sides of a sheet of A4 paper is normally enough
•
be positive – it should emphasise your achievements, strengths, successes and how you have contributed to your employers making a profit (add figures to support facts whenever you can and use positive action words, for example ‘consulting’, ‘negotiating’, ‘managing’ and so on), and
•
make a good impression. This means presenting the facts about yourself in a clear and positive way
