 Print your CV on good
quality white paper. The
paper size should be A4
 Usually you should not
attach a photograph.

italics (Italics) to
emphasise important
words.

consider using bullet
points.
 Try to keep the CV on one
side of paper, or use two
sides if you have a lot of
relevant work experience
or qualifications.

processed.
 The CV should be between
one or two pages long.
 Never condense
everything onto one page
otherwise it will look
messy.
