Stop lying on your CV. Tell the truth because blatant lies can land you in a whole heap of trouble when it comes to employers. We are sure that losing your job right after getting it is the last thing you want.
- Make it look good
Make some time to pretty up your CV. Keep it clean and organised. Get creative but not too much. Use things such as bullet points
- Don’t make errors
You know that errors can make you look bad, so try by all means to proof read your CV before sending it out. You won’t score or rather won’t secure an interview if you make unnecessary mistakes
- Always update it
Try to always keep your CV current and up-to-date. It doesn’t matter if you are looking for a job or not, just try to update it so that if something significant comes up, you are ready to go
- Write a short cover letter
In your personal statement, just briefly explain why you are the best person for the job. This is actually the first thing you should before you get started with your CV. Write a cover letter first.
