CV Do's
Communicate your strengths, your achievements, your initiative and your personality; in short, your credibility and suitability.
Your CV should be no more than two pages long. Think quality, not quantity. On average, readers absorb 60% of the first page, 40% of the second, and the third is generally a waste - this has been proven time and time again.
Aim to make an impact on the reader.
Put the greatest emphasis on your most recent positions. Summarise older roles. Include dates and months of employment for each.
Include your competence in foreign languages (basic, good, fluent), but be honest.
Be positive - don't be too modest and don't lie about your experience. Positive thinking is vital to secure that next position.
Tailor your CV to each job application. Tailor the CV to the company/department and position whenever possible. Although this may be time-consuming, it could just help you clinch that job! You could include a 'position sought' section in your CV for this purpose.
