Important facts to remember when compiling your Curriculum Vitae
Include all your contact details, i.e. home phone, mobile and email address.
List jobs in chronological order, with most recent job first. Include both the months and years, title, company name along with a bullet point list of your duties and responsibilities in each job e.g.
Company
Title
Start Date - End Date
Duties and responsibilities:
- bullet point list of duties
Keep information concise, accurate and to the point. Ensure the layout and format of your Curriculum Vitae is consistent throughout the entire document.
Note and list all qualifications gained and computer packages you are proficient in.
Check that fonts and spacing are consistent throughout the document.
list the names of your references i.e Name, title, company name, email address work and mobile phone numbers
**MOST IMPORTANT** Make sure you have spell checked your entire Curriculum Vitae and proof read it over and over again, get someone else to proof it as well. (40% of all Curriculum Vitae’s contain spelling and grammar errors - and people wonder why they do not get an interview!)
