CV Format - My Suffolk Jobs

CV Format

Getting the format right is much harder than it sounds. Not only does the CV have to be the correct length, but needs to have the right balance too. In addition to all of this it needs to look good, and read easily. If a CV doesn't look the part then there is a chance that it may never be read. Employers are very busy people, and don't always have time to read every CV. No matter how good the content is on your CV, if it does not look professional enough it could go straight in the bin.

Most CV's include some but not always all of the following sections:

• Name and contact details
• Personal profile
• Work experience
• Qualifications
• Professional qualifications
• Professional memberships
• Skills
• Competencies
• Other personal details
• Interests
• References

You should not only take care as to what you include, but also what you exclude and the order in which you list everything. Remember you do not have to list every last detail of every last job.
