How to write a good CV

Pay attention to the presentation of your CV. Have a look at an example of a Graduates CV. You will need to write an attractive, targeted CV with evidence of particular interest(s) in the position you are applying for. For example, subject choices, project work, a relevant thesis, interests or hobbies.

Avoid jargon, abbreviations and acronyms unless they are very widely used. Use the "third person" 'I's are assumed, for example use 'Captained the school football team' rather than 'I captained on the school football team'.
Enhance CV readability by using bullet points, they are easier to read and have more impact than large paragraphs of text.

You should demonstrate a practical application of what you have studied, such as any project work or work experience preferably with an employer.Computer skills on your CV: List any computer applications that you have used, state your familiarity and mention any programming experience that you may have gained.
Start with career statement in your CV with your most recent experience and work backwards. Part time or temporary work experience. If you have had to work your way through college then it demonstrates a level of determination and application If you have held a position for some time it illustrates that you are easily managed, retained and willing to work hard.Sporting achievements illustrate a competitive nature with good social and team working skills.
As a recent graduate / school /college leaver, include the results of each subject that you have taken. Do not, however, include the results of exams that you have failed.
Sell yourself, tell the truth and avoid exaggeration.

Document scanning and computer analysis is being increasingly used by large organisations and recruitment agencies. Be sure to include relevant keywords in the text of your CV. Email a text CV (content within the body of the email) with your CV attachment (MS Word or Rich Text unless asked for a different format).

How to pass your Interview



Before the interview:
Check the map and directions
Get a copy of the job spec
Re-read your CV again
Print of further copies in case the interviewer needs more copies
Get a good nights sleep
Leave in plenty of time
Remember to have telephone numbers and names of interviewers on you in case of delay
Remember Murphy's law. If it can go wrong - it will. Don't leave anything to chance. Upon arrival
Who do you ask for?
The interviewer may be nervous too! Have some "stock" questions to relax both of you. You may have far to walk to the interview room. Perhaps someone else will pick you up and take you to the interviewer?
Talk about your journey
Talk about their journey..? People like to talk - get them to do the work!
Discuss the building, their products, successes, their Founder etc.
Will you be offered a drink? Don't hesitate in telling them what you want
Have your papers to hand and your questions ready. Use a folder for your documentation. During the interview:
Listen, Listen, Listen. You have two ears and one mouth. Heard that before? Remember it.
Some interviewers are better than others. Help them to get the best out of you
If you need to, take control - ask them if it's OK to talk through you CV with them
Body language is key. Don't slouch - and think about what you will do with your hands.
Don't interrupt. If you think of something important, make a note immediately and come back to it later
If you believe that you would be very good at this job, tell them exactly why
People buy people
Sure, this is an interview - but if you genuinely get on with the interviewer and like them, the chances are they'll like you too. They will be calculating if you will get on with the existing team - and will your future success help them.
This paper serves as a quick guide to interviewing from the candidate point of view. There are some excellent books on the market that will assist you further - put them on your Christmas list!
Good luck!
