Resume Tips

A CV is often the first opportunity for a potential employer to assess how you present yourself. A poorly written CV, no matter how relevant the content, could create a negative impression. Although the content of every CV is unique, some basic common rules should be applied.

  • Your CV should never be more than 2 x A4 pages;
  • Ensure you accurately supply all your contact details, summary of education, qualifications, as well as relevant training courses that you might have attended;
  • Target your CV to the specific job or career area for which you are applying and highlight the relevant skills you have to offer;
  • Your skills summary should go on the first page, followed by your current or last job. List previous employers in reverse chronological order;
  • Describe each employer briefly by outlining their industry or market to ensure the person reading your CV fully understands your history;
  • Give your job title, a brief description of what you do and your responsibilities and summarise your key achievements i.e. management responsibilities (number of staff), cost savings for the company, length of projects etc, again this allows the reader to fully understand your skills and expertise;
  • With prior permission, you might want to note your personal referees on your CV, this allows the reader the opportunity to contact them directly if they so wish;
  • Do not include too many hobbies or interests;
  • Always type your CV on a computer and print it on plain white paper, using a simple and common font type.


Before submitting your CV check it thoroughly for errors, not just for spelling and grammar, but also to make sure it is a clear representation of you and your skills.
