If you want to try yourself, here are few tips how to write a good CV
• Avoid fonts such as Comic Sans. Instead, choose something more professional such as size-10 Arial.
• List everything in reverse chronological order so the recruiter sees your most impressive and recent achievements first.
• Keep it concise and easy to read by using clear spacing and bullet points. This type of CV layout allows employers to skim your CV and quickly pick out the important information.
• Try to stay within 2-3 A4 pages. Recruiters won’t read more than that.
• If you email your CV, try to have the smallest file you can. If you adding photo it must be small size.
• Use active verbs wherever possible. For example, you could include words like 'created', 'analyzed' and 'devised' to present yourself as a person who shows initiative.
• There should be no spelling or grammar mistakes in your CV. Use a spell checker and enlist a second pair of eyes to check over it.
• Avoid using generic phrases such as 'team player', 'hardworking' and 'multitasker'. Instead, provide real-life examples that demonstrate all of these skills.
• Take a look at the company's website, local press and the job advert to make sure that your CV is targeted to the role and employer.
• Decide whether the chronological, skills-based or academic CV is right for you.
• Never lie or exaggerate on your CV or job application. Not only will you demonstrate your dishonesty to a potential employer, but there can be serious consequences too.
• You should always include a cover letter unless the employer states otherwise. It will enable you to personalize your application to the job. You can draw attention to a particular part of your CV, disclose a disability or clarify gaps in your work history.
• Keep it simple, clear, focus. Recruiters/employers have so many CV’s to read, be precise and unique.
