CV Advice
Your CV should be designed to get you to interview. Employers are looking for a concise document of one or two pages that outlines your ambitions, skills, experience and education. A simple and clear layout should be used and it is essential that you use the top of your front page to outline a summary of your current situation.
A typical 2 page layout would be:
Page 1
- Name
- Personal Details – Address, telephone numbers, email.
- Profile – Two to three sentences summarising your current position and what you want to do next.
- Key Skills – Clearly outline your work related skill set.
- Employment – Employer names and dates employed.
- Summary.
- Qualifications – Dates, type of qualification, institution.
Page 2
- Employment – More detailed account of current and past employment.
- Interests.
- Reference Contacts.
