CV's
A CV, or curriculum vitae, is a document that summarises your skills, education, work experience, and other qualifications to apply for jobs. The term comes from Latin and translates to "the course of life".
A CV is a marketing tool that allows you to demonstrate to potential employers why you're the best candidate for the job.
A well-written CV can help you get an interview and land the job. Here are some top tips for writing a CV:
Be concise: A CV is typically 2–3 pages long, but can be longer if you have a lot of experience. An employer will only spend on average 12 seconds looking at your CV!
Be targeted: Tailor your CV to every new job you apply for.
Be professional: Use a professional font like Times New Roman, Arial, or Calibri.
Be accurate: Make sure your CV is factual and accurate.
Be easy to read: Use sensible margins and layouts, and avoid graphics and headshots.
Be consistent: Use the same format and name across all application materials.
