How to get an interview from your CV

Candidates with the best CVs will get all the top interviews.  Make hiring you the easiest decision an employer can make...

Keep it simple, no photos, fancy paper, folders or fonts

Check for spelling errors

Stick to bullet points of no more than two lines each

No more than two to three pages.A CV is meant to entice the reader to interview you to find out more, not to tell them your life story

Do not just list job tasks. Use your CV to demonstrate how personal skills, experience, qualifications and achievements can translate into real benefits

When including 'socialising' in your CV avoid phrases such as 'going down the pub' as an interest, for obvious reasons

Avoid gaps in your CV. If you have had a year travelling or similar, it is better to include this than to leave the reader guessing

Use the past tense; it sounds more powerful

 

If you require more assistance or feedback on your CV, ask your consultant they will be delighted to help.
