CV advice

Remember: Your CV is your personal advertisement before the client has even met you!

The objective of your CV is to gain an interview for you, either with a potential employer or a recruitment consultant, and to create a positive impression about you in the mind of the interviewer before you meet. Your ultimate goal is to secure the position.

Most job advertisements have significant response levels - in some cases as many as 300 – so the initial review of your CV will probably not last any longer than three minutes at most. Therefore your needs to be professional, business-like, easy to read, and should state all your duties and responsibilities.
