This column is where JobsVitae CV experts have provided advice for filling in each section of our Free CV Wizard. To get you off to a good start with your CV writing, here are some quick tips:
A good CV should be no more than 3 pages long. Keep your CV relevant and to the point.- Organise the information in your CV. Employers want to be able to identify your skills by scan reading a CV - don't bury them in essays!
- When writing your Free CV, keep in mind the three key questions that employers want answered:
- 1) What do you know?
- 2) What have you done before?
- 3) Can you do the same for me?
- Link the skills listed on your CV to the requirements of the job for which you are applying.
- Don't sell yourself short. Your CV is not the place for modesty! Be proud of your achievements and let that shine through.
