How To Write A CV

Only work on it once you know who'll be reading it.

What would the employer like to know? Have you done it before? Do you understand what they want? They won't have much time with the CV - so make it clear.

Get across as many selling points as you can in the first half page. Keep the whole CV short (two pages maximum)

First put in personal details.

Then put in your profile. A short paragraph where you can really sell yourself and who you are.

This is where you show them what you do. This will likely change from job to job - highlighting key areas.

Keep each job description short. Just mention specific achievements you had during that job. Use examples: problem, action and result.
