Writing CVs
Structuring your C.V.
Consistent text throughout the C.V., with job title, dates, and title in bold. 3-4 pages maximum, be informative but do not go into too much detail, that can wait for the interview. A client wants to see your skills, how you have utilised them (support and/or projects), and where you used them.
- Always Spellcheck your C.V. and check punctuation, we cannot make alterations/rewrite CVs, and clients do not want to see candidates who lack attention to detail.
- A skill overview at the beginning of the C.V. is highly advisable.
