A CV or curriculum vitae is an essential document that is needed when looking for a job. It needs to be well written and presented to make the best of any job opportunities that may exist. With the number of applications that employers receive, it is essential that a CV stands out from the rest. Employers often do a quick first pass of the CVs, so it is necessary to make sure that a CV stands out from the others and passes on to the next stage of the selection process. While CVs are an expression of the individual and will vary from one individual to the next, there are some basic guidelines that can be noted to ensure that the CV has the best chance of being seen. Broadly, the CV should be clear and concise and should "sell" the candidate in a positive but truthful manner. What should a CV contain
CV presentation and style Some people opt to incorporate their photo into the CV. While this is a growing trend, it is not always to be recommended, and it is worth taking advice from any employment agency about the wisdom of doing this for a particular employer or situation. Often slightly different versions of a CV may be required for different applications or situations. Be prepared to be flexible as small changes can sometimes make a large difference. For some situations it may be possible to have two CVs ready prepared if there are two different styles of CVs that may be required to emphasise different aspects of one's career. Do s and Don'ts
Submitting a CV is only the one stage in applying for a job. However it is nevertheless very important. Get it right and it will open the door to many more opportunities than a poor one. It is worth spending time getting it right. Write it, review it, correct it, and get someone else to look at it, preferably someone with experience in the field of recruitment. Once it is good, then submit it and wait for the interviews.
