Your CV is your advertisement. It must create the right impression.
	Your CV needs to effectively communicate your strengths, your achievements and your personality in a well-presented, easily readable format.

	Put your name at the top, not Curriculum Vitae
	Put your contact details beneath your name
	Quantify your skills and achievements. If you handled a £1m budget, say so!
	Try to turn features into benefits.
	Tailor your CV to fit the job you are applying for
	Focus on the past 10 years
	Be economical with words - organise the information into manageable sections
	Include a section on your interests; this adds your personality to your CV
	Number each page in case any become detached
	Get some feedback on your CV

	Use anything other than white paper
	Send a photo
	Leave gaps in your career summary
	Waffle – your CV should be no longer than 2 to 3 pages
	Be too modest!
