GENERAL TIPS FOR CV WRITING


GENERAL TIPS FOR CV WRITING

Writing Tool #8 :   Use Strong Verbs
Keep it relevant to the job you are applying to.
If the information they need is not immediately apparent, they will not look for it.
Write from the highest qualification to lowest with giving relevant details.
You may mention your future academic plans if any.
Don't include things that you did at school, or years ago. Employers are interested in what you are doing now.
bullet
Make sure that there are no spelling, grammatical or formatting errors - get as many people as you can find to proof-read your CV.
bullet
Always address a person (you can phone the organisation to ask who to address your Covering Letter to).
bullet
Never say that the company can benefit you, say how you can benefit the company, give an example of where you have benefited a company in the past.
bullet
The Covering letter should have a polite, friendly, yet formal tone.
