CVs and Cover Letters Speak. Is Yours Speaking For You? by Shinor(m): 10:56am On Jun 17, 2013 |
[b]I have come across a great number of CV's in the course of my work and my reaction sometimes after perusing some copies has been " What on earth is this'? I wonder what was going through the candidate's mind as they put together that CV. Many are yet to understand the traditional role of a CV. It is simply the primary document a would be employer or agency consults to assess your eligibility for a position. The employer reads through your work and education history for any experience or skills that you may possess which will help you perform your role and then makes a decision whether to call your for an interview or not. Unfortunately if there are question marks in any area of your CV, the decision is made without giving you an opportunity to explain. In other words you are judged based on what your CV said. Therefore it is imperative to ensure that your CV is always saying the right things about you. For more details on what should be on a CV, read my next article on CV's to be published subsequently. http://saotheemploymentcoach..co.uk/2013/06/cvs-speak-is-yours-speaking-for-you.html[/b] |

10 things you should have in your CV Contact details It’s important to provide a range of contact options including your home address, your main phone number and your email address to make it easy for employers to get in touch with you. Employment history Make sure to include the jobs that are relevant to the position you are applying for. If you haven't had much relevant experience, however, you may want to include your whole work history. Education and qualifications Your education and qualifications may not be directly related to the job you are applying for, but they’re still important achievements that any employer will want to see. Skills and strengths Emphasising your skills and strengths is vital when building a CV. A strength is something you’re naturally good at. A skill is something you acquire with education and experience. Make sure to demonstrate how your skills and strengths will help you to do well in the job. Your personality Your CV should follow a fairly standard format and the interview is where your personality is really important, but you can still stand out from the crowd with the language you use. Check out Clever Word Play for more ideas. A prioritised layout The way you layout your CV will depend on your age and work experience level. The My CV tool allows you to choose between a work-focused or education-focused template. If you have don’t have much work experience or you’re looking for a career change, you should place your skills and strengths section before employment and education. A good simple format Unless you’re going for a highly creative job, getting too fancy with fonts and borders will only take the focus from the important information in your CV. Good spelling and punctuation There’s no room for poor spelling and punctuation in either your cover letter or your CV. Keep sentences short to avoid confused punctuation and, if you can, give it to a friend to check it over. Spell check should be the very last thing you do before sending it off. References available on request You don’t have to include references in your CV and leaving them out will save you space, but make sure to state at the end of your CV that they are available on request. A cover letter Most employers will expect a cover letter with your CV. It gives you a chance to get across your personality, ambition and to explain any gaps in your CV.
