CV Advice by Scott Boyd

When writing your CV, the best advice you could get is to get a second or third view on the layout and structure of your CV.  Here's some CV advice links:

Advice to remember:

1. Your CV is the information on which your potential employer bases his or her decision on whether to bother interviewing you or not. It is your foot in the door.

2. Your CV should be customised for each job application – the information should be relevant to the job that you are applying for.

3. Don’t be afraid to over sell yourself. Obviously don’t blatantly lie on your CV, but you can exaggerate your existing skills (especially if you know for sure that you can do what you are saying you can).

4. Your CV must stand out from the rest of the pack - it's an advert for the skills and services you have to offer.

 

Good Luck!

 

Best of luck in the hunt for your ideal job!
