CV Advice
Your CV is one of the most important documents you will need throughout your career. If it is too long, lacks impact or generally very plain, it is unlikely to stand out amongst the competition. According to recent research, recruiters receive approximately 200 applicati##被过滤## per job and in reality, your CV will generally have between 30-60 seconds to make an impact.
So, how do you ensure your CV is at the top of the pile?
A clear, well laid out CV certainly has advantages over a scruffy and lengthy document. The issues you will face are what to leave in and what to take out in order to create the impact that is required whilst still getting the breadth and depth of experience across to the reader. Not only that, your CV has to appeal to a wide and varied audience ranging from a junior recruitment c##被过滤##ultant to possibly a CEO.
1. Ensure your contact details are prominent so that recruiters / employers can get in touch with you easily. Include your e-mail address and a mobile phone number if you have one.
2. Don’t use unnecessary words. A long, drawn out sentence may make you look inefficient. Try being short, sharp and to the point. Remember, a CV is a marketing tool, not a life history.
3. Don’t be afraid to have several versi##被过滤## of your CV. This is perfectly acceptable and the more focused your CV is for the role you want, the better chance you have of securing the interview.
4. Many candidates are found through keyword searches on huge CV databases. Ensure your CV contains all of the relevant keywords.
5. Try to avoid having date gaps in your CV.
6. Don’t lie. This could damage your credibility beyond repair.
7. Include your highest level of education. Unless you are starting your career, you do not need to put down details of your secondary school.
8. Do not include salary details or include a photograph unless it is requested.
9. Don’t forget, recruiters and HR personnel are specialists in their fields, not specialists in yours. Ensure they will be able to easily build up a mental picture as to what you do and how relevant you are for the role they are recruiting for.
10. Presentation and formatting is just as important as the content in your CV. This is where you have the opportunity to create impact with good use of fonts and white space. Don’t ‘clutter’ up your CV with unnecessary graphics and too many words.
11. Check thoroughly for spelling and grammatical errors.
12. Last but not least – keep your CV on the short side. Two pages is ideal.
