Brief description of your attributes, using quantifying statements.
The information here will play a major part in attracting the reader to the rest of your CV.

Interests
Your CV should highlight your key strengths without the reader having to search for them.
By utilising different font sizes you can fit in more information without resulting in a cluttered format.
Your CV should be tailored (where possible) to each particular position applied for. In addition a comprehensive covering
letter should also be included. The covering letter will outline the type of position you are looking for and other relevant
information not included on your CV.
Hand written CV's are not acceptable! |
