Your CV is the first impression an employer will have of you and should accurately represent your skills and qualifications for the specific position. The CV should include a short profile, contact information, education history, training, work experience starting with most recent, hobbies, and available references. Use bullet points, avoid gaps, familiarize yourself, keep statements short, use a basic font, spell check, and limit to 4 pages. Do not leave out relevant information, send handwritten CVs, bind your CV, or state anything you cannot support in an interview. A personalized cover letter for each application is also highly recommended.
