DO’S AND DON’T’S FOR A GREAT CV D O: Keep it brief Write it in order of most recent thing first Set out the information under clear headings highlighted in bold or capitals Make your most relevant skills (and any experience) stand out Focus on what you’ve achieved. List things you’ve done such as e. g. writing for the Faculty magazine or organising an important event. Include numbers if you can. E. g. how many people read the magazine?
Write with a confident tone, positive language and active words like "wrote", "made", "assisted", "achieved", "organised" Keep everything short and sweet – don’t use words you don't really need. Lose the I's and a's, and write sentences like "Sold ice-creams in busy café" or "Won school prize" instead of "I played a part in the drama society’s summer production" (Make sure spelling, grammar and format are consistent and accurate. )
DON’T Make up your skills (or jobs) Write long paragraphs and sentences – short statements or bullet points are best Invent a long list of hobbies to hide the fact that you’re short on experience
REMEMBER A CV does not get you a job… A CV does get you an interview. And, putting time and consideration into your CV is one of the best ways to prepare for your interviews!
