In today's competitive job market, it is imperative that you stand out from other candidates. Your CV needs to be professional, interesting and that it values your career so far, because don't forget, it is your business case for a company to employ you. To help you I have prepared some top tips on CV writing below:
Top CV Writing Tips:
- Professionally presented with a clear format
- Two pages long
- Consistent font type and size throughout
- Keep it black and white (e.g: you want to stand out from the other candidates but in the right way)
- Ensure it is not too generic and tailor it to the role you are applying for
- Use positive words (e.g: developed, negotiated, increased, won, growth, promoted etc..)
- Ensure all information is factual and do not expand or exaggerate (e.g: you will be asked to back up your figures at interview so do not lie)
- Triple check grammar and spelling before sending
