You’ve just found a few jobs that you’re interested in applying for, but now you realize you need a new CV to really get your foot in the door. While you can find lots of help writing a CV online for free and examples of CV writing, if you read through this article, you’ll pick up some useful free CV writing tips.
Before you get down to some serious CV writing, how about taking a few minutes to think about each position that you’ve held, and what you accomplished while you held that position. You want to be sure to include your accomplishments in your CV and not just list a bunch of tasks performed.
Your CV Should Follow These Basic Rules:
** Visual appeal - it's easy to read and reproduce or scan
** Highlights your strengths - shows how you match employer needs
** Presents important information first
** Organized - doesn't go over two pages
** Free of errors - correct spelling, no typos
** No grammatical errors
Your CV should answer these questions:
** Who are you and how can you be reached?
** What do you want to do?
** What have you learned?
** What can you do? What have you done?
** How have you been recognized for your achievements?
** What else do they want to know about you?
Your CV checklist:
** Overall Appearance - Immediate impact; looks professional; easy to read
** Contact Information - Presented at the top; includes address and day/evening phone numbers
