Need Help Writing Your CV?
Writing your CV is easy, just remember to keep it simple and pay attention to detail. Follow these easy steps, take a look at a few of our examples and get starting.
It’s always better to start off with your Name as the heading, having your Personal Details just underneath is good, just a few details like: address, contact number and e-mail, married/single, children, drive car? Have own licence? Then try to have a profile describing yourself (a small paragraph or two is plenty).
Layout your work experience starting with the most recent first and work your way down, make sure you are honest a good interviewer/employer will pick up on any gaps in your career history.
Next is your Education. Put down all your education, even certificates that you may have been awarded (you never know if that one certificate will work in your favour!)
Lastly, put down any hobbies and interests but keep it short and simple.
