CV Tips - some tips on how to write your Curriculum Vitae

There are literally hundreds, if not thousands of sites out there offering tips on how to write your CV or Resume - this article covers the basic CV and Resume tips you need to get started.

CV Tips - Use clear formating on your CV - there's no point having having great content if it is horrible to look at!

CV Tips - Don't make your CV too long - your Curriculum Vitae isn't an essay!

CV Tips - Only certain groups of people need photos on their CV (actors, models, etc) - NOT everyone!

CV Tips - Your CV /Resume is about tomorrow, not yesterday. Concentrate on experience and achievement that equips you for an even better future and leave out stuff you have gone beyond.

CV Tips - Put yourself in the mind of the reader and ask what will make them excited. Your CV is not a list of demands for what you want so don't focus on an objective or a naive profile; replace both with a strong but simple list of the assets (knowledge, skills, track records, achievements) that you will contribute to your NEXT employer.

CV Tips - PELLING. Check it once. Check it twice. Have others read it.

CV Tips - There is no conventional grammar in a CV -resume (it's all bullets; phrases; headlines and captions) so turn the grammar checker OFF and don't try to use full sentences.

CV Tips - Never use the first person, I, me, we, our - unless you are very young and want to seem cute.

CV Tips - No text boxes or tables under any circumstances; agencies may wish to manipulate and reformat your CV and that will hinder them.

CV Tips - Watch for repetitions like "responsible for" and try to make your points more than just a job spec or an embarrassing list of "action words" - being all functional and results biased is already old hat - read our advice for more sophisticated and thoughtful alternatives.
