Are you struggling to find work and do you feel that you need help with your CV? We have devised some quick tips for you:

• It’s a good idea to email your CV to your email account so that you can access it from wherever you are
• Be truthful and honest. If you lie you will be very quickly found out
• List all things with the most recent qualification/job/experience first and work your way back in time
• Research the company you are applying for and tailor your CV to this company. Matching your skills and experiences with their brand values
• Read the job description. Make sure you know what you are applying for and refer back to the job description in your CV / Cover Letter / Interview
• Use similar adjectives to the job description. DO NOT just copy them from the job description as this is too obvious
• If the opportunity easily presents itself, it may help to pepper your CV with some technical terminology – but not too much – so that the employer knows that you understand the industry
• If you aren’t applying for a specific role, review similar job descriptions online and tailor your CV to these. This is always a good way to see what further skills/experience you may need
• Use an email account that has a more professional tone to it. E.g. [email protected] as opposed to [email protected]
• It is essential to tailor your CV for each role you apply for:
• Read the job description Research the company
• Link both points to your relevant skills and experience

REMEMBER: the goal of the CV isn’t to get you a job; it’s to get you an interview. Make it concise, interesting and enticing. Make the employer want to find out more about you.
