Your CV is a fundamental marketing tool used to make a compelling and lasting first impression. It is vital to produce a CV that will reflect your whole self accurately and positively. Your CV should be clear, concise and informative and be pertinent to an employer.

preparing your cv

Consider the following when compiling your CV:

Your CV should be professionally presented on good quality white paper

Use blue or black ink with a uniform font throughout that is no smaller than 10 point

  • Keep text justified
  • Make it no longer than 2-3 separate pages
  • Each block of text should be limited to 5 or 6 lines to maintain readability
  • Spacing, blank lines and bullet points are effective and highlight content
  • Show your name and a page number on each sheet
  • The use of correct spelling and grammar is essential as is clear expression. Mistakes look unprofessional and will not impress an employer
  • Ask a friend or colleague to read your CV. A second opinion will highlight any discrepancies
  • A CV should be accompanied by a covering letter printed on the same quality paper and also in ink
  • The covering letter enables the candidate to suggest personal suitability for the job and to emphasise skills and experience that would be relevant to the position
  • If you need to quote a job reference number put it in your covering letter
  • Remember to sign and date the letter

Remember: Clients receive many resumes every day. Make yours stand out.
