Your CV is the main tool we use to sell your experience and skills, so it's well worth investing time in its preparation so that it emphasises your skills and experience as well as demonstrates your ability to meet the company’s demands. For help with your CV, see the below tips or simply discuss with one of our consultants!

A good CV should...

Ideally be no more than 3 or 4 pages in length
Be clean & crisp in appearance with consistent style & fonts
Contain your full contact details
List your work history in chronological order (most recent job first)
Have no gaps and with your education and employment clearly dated
Include a candidate profile providing a snapshot of your keys skills, background & career aspirations
Be tailored towards the role you are applying for

Mistakes to avoid include...

Leaving out previous roles because you do not feel they are relevant to the role you are applying for
Having unexplained gaps in your CV (maternity leave, extended vacations etc)
Not regularly auditing and keeping your CV up to date as you gain new skills and take on further responsibilities in your career
