CV builder
Fiona Hammond
Autumn 2018
What is a CV?
• Personal marketing document
• “at a glance” version of YOU
• Tells the story of your career
• Something useful for future employers to see
• A document that reminds you of you
• You’re never too young to have a CV
• Your first CV was created when you were 3 yrs old
• There are lots or rules to follow when you create your CV
OR
Excuse me, but what
are the rules exactly?
Everyone’s
an expert !
Internet searches
Lots of experts – two of my favourites
• Andrew Fennel
• Des McCabe
3
1. Interesting
1. Professional
2. Triple-checked
Plus ………….
as my granny used to say ……
Don’t tell lies
…………… or you’ll wet the bed
……and that’s just embarrassing
Make it interesting
Think about the last time you bought a magazine/newspaper
What made it interesting?
These could make your
CV interesting too
• Colour
• Big headline
• Smaller headings
• Strong picture image
• Clear sections, good layout
• Emotive (interesting) language
interesting language
• Use emotive language
• Power words
• Concise
• Keep it real, if it sounds unbelievable, they won’t believe it
• Don’t just list your skills – back them up with outcomes
Everyone agrees that a CV needs to
include:
• Your qualifications & education
• Your talents & skills
• Your work experience/history
• Your suitability to the role you are applying for
How you include them is up to you – try to think about how the
employer would like to see your information
Most employers won’t read
your whole CV.
Get the best bits at the top
Lets try to build a CV
• Choose a “dream job”
• Collect 8 black bricks
• Decide what to include
• Write on the bricks
• Display for employer to see
• Make it interesting
Think about relevant:
• Qualifications & experience
• Talents & skills
• Work experience
• & your suitability
And the winner is ….
So, putting pen to paper
• Start with a few key bullets
• Build these into sentences
• Decide what style of CV
• Decide what goes where
2 types of CV
• Chronological
• Skills & talent based (achievement based)
Work out which one is best for the role you are applying for
2 templates to get you going
• Your qualifications & education
• Your talents & skills
• Your work experience/history
• Your suitability to the role you are applying for
• Start with key bullet points
• Build up into sentences
Your covering letter
• Get your key message across
• Give them a reason to interview you
• Name drop, product drop, show you know the company
• Send a link to something relevant you’ve done online
Thank
you
Feedback is the breakfast
of champions …..
On a scale of 1 to 10
How great was it?
