How to write a CV
Here are some tips on how to write a CV, what to look out for and what you could include.
Tips and Techniques
Most common Type of CV
The Chronological CV is the most traditional type of CV, and is what most employers expect to see. A chronological CV lays out your professional experience in reverse chronological order so that your most recent job is at the top of the page. Ideally, a CV should go back around 10- 15 years, or cover your last 5-6 positions.
Additional Tips
Think about the layout, fonts and colours. Use something readable and professional, like Arial or Times New Roman. A potential employer will notice the layout of your CV before they even start to read it. Ensure you list and explain your key achievements.
Ensure that your CV is concise and proofread it before you send it.
