Think before writing
When writing a CV the most important thing is to prepare – fail to prepare and prepare to fail!
You only have a maximum of 2 pages to impress, and you don’t want to end up with a poorly structured, generic CV that will end up on office bins up and down the country and do you more harm than good.
Having said that, you need to be careful about over-embellishing certain things and going over-the-top in an attempt to stand out. You want to find the balance. That’s what will get you the job you want, and that’s exactly what we’ll be looking at here as we take you on a journey to putting together the perfect CV.
