Creating a CV/Resume
It is vital that you prepare a clear, concise and thorough CV/Resume.
This is normally the first request from a future employer and they will decide whether to proceed with an interview based on the contents of your CV/Resume.
Points to consider
▪ Make something about your CV different
▪ Always provide a covering letter, maximum one page
▪ Check grammar, punctuation and spelling
▪ Use your name and page number as the header on the second and any subsequent pages
▪ There are no 'rules' on the length of a resume, but we recommend two pages maximum (a third for your references if you wish)
▪ Make sure that columns, periods, dates etc, line up
▪ Use a good quality white paper and good quality printer
