How to prepare a CV

When you write your CV, take care with its presentation, structure and accuracy.

TIPS

•	Use a plain typeface (nothing decorative).
•	You do not need to include a photo or your marital status.
•	Try to keep your CV to no more than four pages.
•	Include your name and contact details on the front page,
•	Don't include your work telephone number if you do not want to be contacted at work.
•	Keep the structure simple! Present your job history and qualifications in a clear, consistent and logical manner.
•	Order your jobs, qualification and achievements from most recent to least recent.
•	Do not leave gaps in your work history. Explain any absences for travel, study or family reasons.
•	Place any information about your hobbies or interests at the end and keep it short!
•	Check your spelling and grammar. Ask a friend to proofread the CV too.
•	Staple the pages together: do not use any other bindings or plastic wallets.
•	If posting your CV, make sure the envelope is clearly and accurately addressed. If you email your CV, add a quick note in the email so the receiver knows there is an attachment.
•	Remember, your CV is a potential employer's first impression of you, so make it a good one!
