5. Tips to create a good CV
-Try to insert all relevant information
-Use one plain font and a minimum amount of effects
-Use bullet point style
-Don’t exaggerate – you will be asked to talk through -
your cv and will need to back everything up verbally
at interview
-Use terminology appropriate to your job
-Use the minimum amount of space for your personal
-details – space is at a premium!
-Don’t use capital letter

6. -Know the purpose of your resume/CV
-Instead of creating a long (and boring) list with all your
qualities try to connect them with real life and work
experiences
-Use effective titles. Accounting vs. Management of A/R
and A/P and Recordkeeping
-Put the most important information first
Statements like “Available for interview” or “References
available upon request” is not good.

7. -Stating what you can do something will not catch the
attention of the employer.
-Explain how it will benefit his company, and to connect
it to tangible results, then you will greatly improve your
chances.
-Avoid negativity. /Hated the last company./
-Achievements instead of responsibilities
-No pictures
-One resume for each employer

11. Who gets the opportunity?
The person who gets the contract offer is not always
the best person available for the job.
They are the best person available at knowing how to
get offered a job - a subtle difference.
The people with the best CVs will get interviewed, not
necessarily the best available people.
Preparation is the most important!
