Can anyone give me some helpful tips on making a good CV?
The CV should aim to cover two pages MAX. A CV should begin with a short summary of who you are. Make sure that this is objective and avoid all the subjective clichés such as ‘excellent self-starter’, ‘good team player’, ‘natural leader and good communicator’. Opening statement. The opening statement can be tailored to pick up on the key features of a given job description. Express yourself. Always express your skills and qualities in the present tense – you may not be using them right now but you still have these facilities. CV should be printed and well designed so that the material is clear and visually attractive. So many CVs do not reach this standard – make sure that yours does, otherwise it is a complete waste of effort. It is really important to be objective. Get someone independent to look at your CV when you have completed it – not a friend or family member. Be prepared to refine it a number of times until it is right. A CV should also give some ideal of your future potential
