CV - CV Workshop

You need to really think about how you are going to stand out from the crowd, list your skills and main achievements that are relevant to the specific role that you are applying for - it probably will only come down to one or two specialist skills.

Early Career CV Advice

  • Find a CV template that works for you which will have a consistent layout, fonts, and formatting.
  • Use keywords from the job spec as they may refer to skills that you have under a different name
  • Get somebody to carry out a review and check spelling and grammar.
  • Install 'Grammarly' to check you spelling and grammer
  • Avoid using a headshot in the CV
  • Make it look simple and professional

Senior Level CV Advice

  • Include relevant information for the role
  • Focus on key accomplishments and transferable skills
  • The CV should be skills-focused
  • Use examples and strategic and tactical decision-making
  • include professional memberships
  • List where you have been with summary details

You need to check that you have listed all relevant qualifications, compelling track record, try to position yourself as an employer to test out your CV, and include what you find is lacking to get you your next job.
