• When writing a CV always write in the third person
• Write an initial summary of your mission statement (summary of your experience/your drivers/what you are looking for)
• Evidence your experience with achievements
• Be laconic and not too wordy
• Keep your CV to two pages maximum
• Do not pay an Agent, if using one, to write your CV (there are rules surrounding this – https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2003/3319/contents/made)
• If applying directly, read the advert – there are always clues in the advert
• Research the Company before applying
• Agents will do this for you – ensure the agent knows the Company well
• Be open to an interview from the Agent, as this is their job
• Look out for next week where we will give some interview preparation and advice
