How To Present Your CV

Always provide a covering letter with your CV, this can save time on re-writing your CV each time you apply for a role, as it can highlight points specifically relevant to this position.
Keep your CV as concise as possible – 1 -3 pages is acceptable.
Use clear typeface and plenty of white space to avoid overcrowding – your CV must be easy to read quickly.
Avoid any excessive narrative. Use bullet points and short, snappy sentences.
If posting or handing in, print on one side of good quality, white paper, and staple it together. Use a full size envelope, do not fold you CV.
If emailing your CV use a Microsoft Word format where possible. Do ensure that the file sent is not password protected, and that the file size is not too large.
Remember - Your CV will decide whether or not you are selected for interview – a good CV will show you have taken time and effort to apply for the role, a bad CV will show sloppiness and a lack of commitment.
