Work experience: This section includes any work experience that you have in
the field you are applying for. When listing these work experiences include
your job title, time in the post, responsibilities and the name of your
organisation. Remember to list your most recent role first.
Achievement: List relevant skills and achievementsfrom previous jobs, giving
clear examples of how you would apply these to the new role.
Education: List formal qualifications and any training and development
undertaken, either independently or during previous periods of employment.
Hobbies and Interests: Only include if the skills or teamwork concerned are
relevant for the job. There is no point listing that you’re sociable or that you
enjoy going to the cinema for the sake of it.
Any extra information, such as reasons for a career change or reasons for
gaps in career history should be added as required.
HOW TO PRESENT YOUR CV
Remember, your CV is a reflection of yourself, so it's important that it's well
laid out and looks professional.
Keep it short enough to read quickly and ideally no more than two sides
of A4
Choose a clear, professional font to ensure that your CV can be easily
read
Be clearly laid out in a logical order, with sufficient spacing and clear
section headings (work experience, education)
Avoid typing mistakes at all costs. A simple spell check is not enough :
ask someone else to proof read your finished CV
Order your experience and education into reverse chronological order to
highlight your most recent experience and achievements
Once you’re happy with how your CV looks, make sure you’re happy with the
content. And highlight that you're the right match for the job by outlining:
Specific skills you have to offer the employer
Experience you have in the specific field
Appropriate personal qualities for the role
An understanding of the job requirements
If you don't already have a CV or you'd like to start again, you can create a
professional, fully formatted CV in minutes using the free reed.co.uk CV
Builder.
