1.Be honest. If you have the capacity to do the job, then you shouldn’t have to lie to get it.
2.Write clearly and concisely. Employers do not want to have to read through pages of clutter to get to your most salient sales points.
3. The content of a CV should reflect the position for which you are applying. For example, if you are applying for a job as an IT technician, it is not relevant to the employer that you worked in several bars early in your career. If you are applying to work in a call center, your employer would love to hear about the customer service skills you learned when working with the public.
4. Show passion about your work and your hobbies.
5. If you’re going to use bullet points then neat single line bullets points look more pleasing on the eye than more cluttered multi-line entries.
6. Don’t waste all your good work by sending off a well written CV on poor quality paper. Make sure that your CV is printed out on good quality paper, and preferably in black ink.
7. Try to sound positive at all times, including when you have had negative reports.
