CV Tips CVs can often be hard to plan and it is difficult to know where to start. I found it easier to list all the main sections before starting, so for example: • Name, Address, contact information • Profile about yourself (tailored to each job role) • Employment History and Experience • Qualifications, training • Interest and hobbies • Any additional information Employers do prefer a one page CV. Usually a CV should be no more than two pages and that's on A4. This doesn’t just mean make your writing smaller! Keep it punchy, to the point, and save those little details for the interview. Some employers use computer technology to assess each CV they receive. 3
