Writing your CV
Keep it brief and to the point – no more than two pages of A4.
33 Use a computer, use the same font throughout and use clear headings.
33 Write your current position or qualification first and work backwards.
33 Include any achievements or courses you’ve been on outside of school (for example,
passing music exams, getting a driving licence, getting a first aid certificate or doing
voluntary work).
33 Include a covering letter with your CV.
33 Read through the CV before you send
it off, checking
for any
mistakes.
33 Make a copy
– you may
need to use
it again and it
will be easier to
update.
