CV Tips

CV's do not need to be just 2 pages; in fact most Technical CV's will need to be longer (but try and keep it to 4 pages maximum).
Write your CV in reverse chronological order (start with today and work backwards).
Ensure that the CV is relevant to the position you are applying for.
Ensure that the Font Size is readable
(Arial Size 11 is popular).
Keep the format simple, keeping all information relevant.
Use a skills matrix to highlight your main technical skills including the number of years you have worked with each technology.
Use your personal statement to outline your objectives, technical skills and soft skills.
Use spell check and ensure your CV has been proof read.
Save the document as Rich Text Format.
Highlight areas of responsibility and outline your key achievements.
List your exact duties within each position, as the Job Title alone is not enough
