Your CV is a crucial part of the job application process and it is vital you ‘sell yourself’ from the outset.
A CV is often the only medium used to get an interview so it is imperative it reflects your key skills and experience and catches the attention of
the reader.
A good CV is one of your most valuable assets. It must demonstrate what you
can offer, how you have benefited other organisations and your key
achievements.
A CV should summarise your education, background, employment, training and
voluntary experience, special skills and any other information you feel
is relevant.
Above all for a CV to be effective it must stand out from the rest!
