CV Writing

Writing a CV is never an easy thing to do and can be quite stressful especially if you are starting from scratch. There are no real rights or wrongs for the perfect CV, but it should be short enough for a potential recruiter or employer to scan through quickly and importantly, tailored to the role you are applying for.

How to present your CV

Your CV is the first thing an employer or recruiter will see when hiring or sourcing for a vacancy, remember:

- Keep it short and sweet – two sides of A4 will almost always suffice
- Choose a clear, professional font to ensure that your CV can be easily read
- Always check your grammar and spelling
