There are no hard and fast rules to writing a CV but there are some commonsense guidelines that can help. Let’s take a moment to go through some of the important points to remember when writing a CV.
The first is that it should be to the point. When a job vacancy is issued, there are usually many applications and to stand a chance of being seen you must sell yourself to the employer as effectively as possible. The first way in which this can be done is to be consice. If your CV is more than 2-pages long then it is probably too long.
Update and modify your CV according to the job you are applying for. Many people write a CV and either leave it to become outdated or include lots of irrelavent information. If you are applying for a good which requires certain skills that you have then write your CV in such a way as to emphases these skills. Extra talents are good but for every job there are a set of essential skills which must be met first.
To tailor your CV to a particular job, look at the requirements and try to include something in your CV that reflects these requirements to the employer.
It is all too obvious to say that you should check your spelling and grammar at least twice when sending a CV but it never fails to amaze me that people do not bother. As this is the first chance to make an impression it is vital that you make a good one otherwise there won’t be another chance. Pay particular attention to the spelling of Curriculum Vitae. That is often spelt incorrectly.
If you have to post a CV, use a first class stamp. It is often an unmentioned way of quickly weeding out candidates. It is harsh but reflects the attitude of the candidate to the job.
