The CV Sample shown below on this page is an actual example of a CV written by myself for a client. Naturally the name and contact details have been changed to protect the identity of the individual concerned, but you can see the style and layout to follow for a successful CV of your own.
Read on for the example CV layout on this page.
When preparing your CV, you need to be sure that it will stand out among the rest submitted by other interested candidates. It should be the type that is appealing to the eye and easy to follow, making the evaluating personnel want to read the CV fully.
A careful choice of words, and I don't mean 'buzz' words, will entice the reader to engage with your CV more fully than a bland page of generic nothingness. For some ideas about which words will strike the right note see these CV Action Words and try to use some of them.
Also, depending on your job type and level of seniority you may need some additional ideas for an
effective Executive CV for higher graded positions.
The best way to achieve a great CV is to make sure the page is well spaced so that it is easy to read. Then your second task is for you to make sure your own CV sample describes the relevant work, at the right level of experience in relation to the job you are applying for. If you're not sure that your CV matches up to these essential requirements, please request a free CV review and find out what you need to do to get it right.
I find that a simple CV format with your name and contact (address) details at the top followed by a Personal Profile and Key Skills is the best way to get the attention quickly. I've put together some examples of CV Personal Profiles to help you with some ideas of what to write.
If you already have a good CV, but the interviews have dried up, here are some effective ways to drastically improve your CV in just a few minutes.
What To Do If You're Changing Direction
If you are changing direction in your career, you will need to
adapt your CV to the new industries or sectors you want to enter.
