CV Presentation Tips
Your CV is the first impression that any prospective employer has of you – so it’s important to get it right. The information you provide must be accurate, realistic and positive, and be tailored to suit the particular role you are applying for. The following format provides a guide to information you should include.

Personal Details
Ensure accuracy of your contact details, including name, address, telephone numbers at home and work, date of birth and driving licence details if applicable.

Interests
These will give employers a better picture of you. Brief titles will suffice e.g. 'socialising, football, reading etc.' . These should be realistic!

Education Details
This should include secondary, higher and further education, including dates attended and qualifications gained. Please put full details of all education achieved.

Current Employment
Detail the name, location and dates employed with the company are very important. If you have been promoted or gained any notable experience, make sure that this is highlighted. As much relevant detail as possible is important with regard to experience. Information regarding supervision, teamwork, training and development should also be outlined.

Past Employment
Brief details of any previous employment will again provide a fuller picture. Less detail is needed - company / dates, job title and a brief job description will suffice.

NB - If there are any gaps i.e. time travelling, a year out etc, these too should be noted to ensure that no details are left uncovered.
