CV Writing Tips
TO HELP YOU GET AN INTERVIEW
Writing a CV that opens doors and gets you an interview can be a
daunting process nowadays especially with tough competition and
the level of skills your competitors bring to the table you will always
need to be on top of your game and highlight your USP or (unique
selling point)
1. A header.
Include your name and any
contact details you want the
employer to have so that you
can be contacted if needed.
Always keep these details up to
date, especially if you are to be
contacted by email and make
sure to check regularly for
messages
2. Your career objectives.
Keep it short and to the point-do
not write a long essay, one or
two short sentences on the type
of job you are looking for and in
what field and preferred
organisation. Include the job role
you want to apply for and what
makes you passionate about the
job ie. what you would enjoy
about the job
3. Include any work experience.
Start at the top of the ladder with your current job or the most recent job. List all the
previous jobs in a backward order as you come down from the ladder. Be specific
and give details about each position, listing your role within these positions, your
responsibilities, and skills. List all relevant job roles whether it is part time
work,volunteering or unpaid internship.
4. Include any education.
Here you list all your educational achievements with the most recent at the top of the
list. If you went to college or University then include the name of the institution and
your qualification from it. It is not necessary to go all the way back to secondary and
primary school at this point.
5. Include Additional
information.
If you think there is any
information that may help your
CV stand out from the crowd then
include it here. ‘ “ramble on” Only
include relevant information that
will add value to the job role.
