Guidance Notes

Your c.v. should be no longer than 2 pages. The following template will help you to lay it out neatly and logically.

Education & Qualifications:

Dates attended senior school, plus GCSE & ‘A’ levels,
Dates attended further education, plus attainments.
Courses or training exercises
Language fluency

Key Skills:

What aspects of work that you feel you are good at. i.e. team working, building relationships, problem solving, research, prioritising, computer literacy, planning, budgetary control, implementing legislation etc.

Work History:

List most recent jobs first, and work backwards. (If you are a recent graduate, list work experience or part time jobs). Spend most time on recent work. Companies are not really interested in what you were doing 10 years ago.

If the company is not a household name, give a one-line description of what they do.

Describe your role, what you were responsible for and what you achieved. State how many people reported to you.

Hobbies:

A brief explanation of how you spend your leisure time but do not go into detail.
