How to Create the Perfect CV
When it comes to writing a CV it is important that is it kept simple and straight forward and easy to be seen. In a CV the main aim is to show the employer your suitability for the role with regards to your work experience, education and skills.
How you present information on a CV is of utmost importance. A CV mainly consists of between 3-4 sections, firstly the Profile/Personal Information then the Employment History followed by Education and Skills and finally References.
The Personal Information is the first section at the top of the CV, here you list all your personal information including your name, date of birth, address, telephone and mobile contact numbers and if possible an email address. If you are successful in the shortlisting process and we want to call you for an interview then we will have few options to get hold of you.
I'm sorry, just have to say this. Checking my gmail as I write this and I noticed an advertisement for this company, https://earthwisehaulinglongbeach.com. It is the fourth ad I've seen from their site today! I believe I'm being stalked! Okay, I will return to what I was writing 🙂
Profile section provides a brief insight to your skills, experience and information regarding future ambitions. This is useful so that we can see what your aims are and what you aim to do in future employment.
The Education section comes next. In this section you list all your qualifications you have gained, beginning with the most recent first. Here it is important to list the qualifications in a simple way to provide us with simple and quick viewing.
