Guidance on CVs and how we support candidates looking for their next role.
Make sure dates are linear and correct, talk about your achievements and key projects outside normal duties, review your CV every six months, keep your current contact details easy to find, choose a layout that suits your role and a font that is easy to read.
Don't exaggerate or inflate your responsibilities, write in the third person, or simply copy and paste your job spec. Don't leave out important information like your contact details, use PDF, or save your CV somewhere you have limited access to.
Employers have time pressures, so your CV needs to stay clutter-free and easy to read, with the information they want easy to find rather than buried among elaborate graphics.
Keep your CV to two pages, with a consistent layout throughout and a sensible choice of text size and font, so your details don't strain the reader's eyes.
Your CV is a working document with a beginning, middle and an end, so keep it to a logical structure and consistent theme so the important details stand out.
Get in touch and let's get to work.
