A good CV is an absolute must when it comes to finding a new career, the first thing that your employer will see is your CV so its important that it makes an impression when it arrives on his or her desk. Imagine that your CV is a sales letter selling a product and the product is you, your experience and personal attributes, it’s the first step towards your new career. If you CV dose not impress then you will fall at the first fence and will not make it to the interview stage.
There are countless resources available to help you write a good CV, some paid and some are for free. Take a trip to the local job centre and they will gladly help you put a CV together for free; another good resource is to use a CV template. There are thousands of CV templates available on numerous websites most are free but some are a paid option. Microsoft word has a number of CV templates that can be modified to suit your own personal preferences.
The content of your CV is also massively important and is crucial in securing an interview. The employer wants to see the ideal candidate for the job on offer, so edit your CV to suit the job vacancy that is on offer. This does not mean fill your CV with a ton of false information it just means a little fine tuning may be required for all the different positions that you apply for, remember you have to meet there criteria.
produce a CV that is crystal clear and straight to the point, make sure it details all your previous experience, your academic achievement's and a section about yourself again there is a ton of information circulating on various web sites on line on how to produce a good CV and what to include in its content so a good tip is to do a bit of research on the subject. Here’s another tip that I picked up from a a friend of mine who was advertising for a position, he had received a number of applications for the job on offer but the ones that had arrived in the post in a brown envelope went in to the bin with out even getting opened. I don’t know if this was just an occurrence with this particular company or a standard practice, but to be on the safe side use a white envelope.
