CVs

Thursday December 10, 2009 at 3:33pm

Many of us can offer advice about writing a CV and we all have our own opinions, lots of you may not even agree with my tips.


Your CV:

Forget writing a profile on a CV anyone can do that. A CV needs to be 1-2 pages long, no more (unless it a technical CV). The first half page needs to be about performance-based achievements based around the position you are applying for; this shows off your transferable key skills and the commercial skills you posses.

Performance-based achievements; Consider the situations within the past three years where you have used the specified competencies. Think about the situation, what you did, why you did it, who you involved, what actions you took etc.

Take all the best tips and advice from your network and make it your own, remember you can't please everyone, don't try to either.
