PROFILE

 

A short statement at the beginning of the CV, is a positive way of selling yourself. You could include positive words, such as competent, adaptable and conscientious.

 

KEY SKILLS or ACHIEVEMENTS  

Use this section to outline and identify significant skills, which may be of interest to future employees, i.e.:-

Languages

Specific Training

Can also be used to outline the things that you have done well in past jobs and any other significant achievements.

 

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

 

Starting with your most recent job, with dates – this will be of most interest to future employers.

 

Don't leave gaps, employers will want to know what you were doing during these periods.

 

If work experience is limited, you may want to add in part-time, temporary, holiday or voluntary positions.

 

Give job title and the main duties involved in the role – keep it brief.

 

If you have had many different jobs, emphasise the skills and experience you have gained by grouping them together, e.g. I have worked in many different types of job during vacations, including office, shop and factory work. Suggest that bullet points be used for this information.

 

EDUCATION

 

Outline college, university and secondary education, qualifications gained and years attended.

 

 

PROFESSIONAL TRADE QUALIFICATIONS

 

Skilled trade qualifications, i.e. City and Guilds, HND etc.

 

 

INTERESTS

 

Aim to show the employer that you have a well-rounded personality. This is a chance to sell yourself. You can include any sporting activities, hobbies and membership of clubs and societies.

NOTE: Make sure you know enough about your interest to be able to talk about them in an interview, they are often picked upon by employers for further questions.

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 

This is optional, but useful if there are gaps in other parts of your CV. If you have had a break at home make this positive.

Do this by describing skills you have used in, for example, bringing up children and running a home.

If you are changing career direction, explain why you are interested in the new type of work.

 

 

REFERENCES

 

You may or may not want to include the details of your references on your CV, but you should always have a record of two or more people you can use as references.

One should be you last employer or, if you have not worked for some time, you could use your family doctor or a friend (not a relative), who has known you a long time.

You should ask people to agree to this beforehand.

 

 

PHOTOGRAPH

 

Some future employers may require a photograph of you – if so, ensure that you are dressed smartly in work attire, and that you smile!
