The template should give you a good idea of how to structure your CV, however, there are other things you should also bear in mind:

  1. Order your CV properly.
    • Order your CV into reverse chronological order, starting with your most recent experience or achievements first.
  2. Take time to write your CV properly
    • Don’t rush it as you only get one chance to make an impression.
    • Use a spell checker and where possible get someone to proof read your CV.
  3. Tell the truth
    • Lies on your CV can land you (and potentially your employer) in trouble.
    • The advancement of databases has made it far easier to spot discrepancies between old and new copies of your CV.
  4. Make it look good – Use formatting
    • Bullet points, Bolding and Underlining are all easy ways to keep the layout of your CV attractive.
    • Where possible, try to keep your CV between 2-4 pages. Obviously for some people who have enjoyed a particularly varied career this may not be possible.
    • Keep sentences to the point, short and punchy, as most people haven’t got time to read a novel.
