A successful CV is one that grabs the employers’ attention, invites you to an interview and lands you the dream job. While there are many different templates that you can use, people routinely recycle the same template for every job that they apply for – and THAT can be a problem.

Usually, a CV Template is generic, but it is how you optimise these layouts to accurately capture your work experience and highlight your skills that makes all the difference.

Always Research the Industry

This is possibly the most important step to consider before tailoring your CV and choosing your CV Template. No matter what level of experience you have, it is vital that you research the company, its industry and analyse the job description.Read More »Choosing the Correct CV Template

When writing your CV, grammar is of particular importance. You have to make sure that the CV makes sense to employers and is not long-winded or difficult to read. This article will help you to develop your CV and ensure you choose the correct CV grammar tenses, sentence length and punctuation.

Grammar

English (Ireland) / English (UK) vs. English (US)

When writing your CV you need to remember who you are applying to and where you are. Note that the spelling is different for certain words e.g. colour vs. color or organisation vs. organization so be sure to check the content and change the language of the document. If applying to a local company, use the language of the country; if applying to a MNC find out where in the world the position is being advertised and edit accordingly.

How To Write A Good CV

In my previous article, 5 mistakes made on a CV, I highlighted some important points that you should avoid, if possible when writing a CV. This article will address how to write a good CV in order to make it stand out and utilise the best CV design.

1. CV Design

The first step to creating an effective CV template is to choose the right CV design. Make sure to choose one that suits your industry, showcases your personality and reflects your skills.

2. Personal Information

Every CV sample should include some personal information, most importantly your name, address, email and contact number. Anything else should be omitted i.e. age, date of birth etc, unless otherwise stated. If you are younger than 18, you MUST include your date of birth.
