Your CV is an extremely important document as it is a personal reflection on you. It is very easy to make simple mistakes on your CV and this can damage the first impression you make on an employer. Please take a look at our CV tips below:

​

• Always check your spelling and grammar in your CV, mistakes show that you lack attention to detail
• Keep the information relevant and professional – don’t ramble.
• Tailor your CV for every job that you apply for. Read the job description and required skill set and ensure you list your key skills and experience first
• Use bullet points to grab the employers attention
• Try to highlight your achievements in each role, e.g. new procedures, increased sales, successful campaigns or time-saving activities.
• Keep it concise. CVs should be no more than 2 A4 pages long
• Don’t leave gaps – List any gaps in your career with a suitable explanation, for example, travelling / career break
• Always tell the truth; most companies will check the facts you’ve stated like qualifications and previous employment history
• Always ensure your contact details are correct on your CV so employers can get hold of you.
