CV Advice
Remember: Your CV is your personal advertisement.
The objective of your CV is to gain an interview either with a potential employer or a recruitment consultant and to create a positive impression about you in the mind of the interviewer before you meet. Your ultimate goal is to secure the position.
Some advertisements have significant response levels - in some cases as many as 300 – so the initial review of your CV will probably not last any longer than three minutes at most. Therefore it needs to be professional, business-like and easy to read, and should focus on your key achievements. The covering letter needs to be clearly tailored to the description of the position and the candidate specification.
