How To Write A Great CV
By STEPHANIE MOYNIHAN
Your CV is a very important element to being successful in your job hunt and ultimately securing your next position. Provide accurate information Of course, it can be oh so tempting to embellish your past experience and skills to secure a new job. While your CV is a very important document to showcase you as an individual and your suitability for a job, it is just as important to be honest and show your integrity. While it may seem like a little white lie won’t matter, remember that dishonesty tends to catch up and landing a role based on mistruths is not a good foundation for your future with the company. Keep it real and be proud of your achievements. List them in a professional and coherent
manner. Prior to sending your CV, make sure that all information are current, such as your contact details and that all relevant information in relation to past experiences are included. Tailor your CV Unfortunately, when it comes to CVs, a one size fits all approach does not tend to work. It is very important to tailor your CV. This means that a CV should be changed for every role that you are applying for ensuring that your most relevant experiences and skills are highlighted for the employer reading your CV.
Presentation is key Remember that first impressions count! Once you are ready to hit that send button or hand in your CV to a potential employer, ensure that your CV is well presented. Proof read and spell check the document to ensure that there are no spelling mistakes or typos.
