Writing a CV
A curriculum vitae (CV) provides an overview of a person's experience and other qualifications. In some
countries, a CV is typically the first item that a potential employer encounters regarding the job seeker and is typically used to screen applicants,
often followed by an interview, when seeking employment.
WHAT IS A CV?
Your CV should be: - A well-presented, selling document - A source of interesting, relevant information - A script for talking about yourself
Remember: The purpose of your CV is not to get you the job. It is to get you an interview!!
What it should include:
• Choose a presentation format that allows you to headline key skills, key achievements or key attributes.
• Your employment history should commence with your current or most recent job and work backwards.
• Achievements should be short, bullet- pointed statements and include your role, the action you took and the result of your action.
• Hobbies: Drop them if you run out of space!! • Information that clearly demonstrates your suitability for the role and
enhances your chances of being short-listed should be included near the beginning of the CV
• Include details of recent training or skills development events you have attended which could be relevant.
• List all your professional memberships and relevant qualifications.
