 How to write a CV

Don’t hide the good stuff!


The aim of your Successful CV is to immediately bring to the attention of the reader the key points that lead them to believe that they simply have to interview you.


Successful CVs have a limited time span to achieve this as they are often scanned, either by a human or by a machine and bullet pointing key areas will allow both types of “readers” to accurately and quickly identify the winning points that you need to make.


Bullet Points on a CV also help to break up the format into a more visually pleasing style, encouraging the reader to consider yours in more detail than others that are poorly formatted.


Bullet Points on a CV will also help you identify what the absolutely key facts are that you want to have noted.

CVs - FAQs to help you decide.

  "How can you justify your charges? – I see plenty of CV Writing Services offering to write my CV for less than £30.00". The range of pricing quoted for CV writing does indeed vary by a wide margin; from the amazingly cheap to the startlingly expensive (over £1000 pounds plus to write a CV!).   If your current CV is not delivering the desired results, then will a quick cut-and-paste refresh with minor formatting changes make any difference?   You may have noted from the "Services" pages that we feature on each product the two key paragraphs:  "1) How we BEGIN to understand YOUR requirements  and  2) How we CONFIRM that our understanding of YOUR requirements is complete” .  This underlines the fact that accurate information gathering is a pre-requisite to enable a candidate to have a professional CV.

CV Help - How to write a CV- TIP seven – check and re-check CV.

  How to write a CV Spell checkers are great, assuming that you have set the language to “English – English” and have not left the default “American – English” in place as this will introduce some interesting  spelling errors. An error on any CV that you send means: “I didn't notice it” - (I pay no attention to important details), “I didn't spell-check it” – (I’m lazy) – “I thought that was correct” – (I'm semi-literate).

CV Help - How to write a CV- TIP eleven – no irrelevant content on your CV

In fact, you're quiet an expert and justifiably proud of the fact. You've even won awards and have written articles in several bird magazines. So, should you include this on your CV? If you are applying for a position with the RSPB, a zoo or for a position as a veterinary nurse, then yes: this would prove to be a most relevant skill and achievement. If you are applying for a position where there is patently no obvious link between your hobby and the job specification, then it should be omitted. Does your current CV need a health check? Even CVs that have been produced by a CV Writing Service can become out of date or are simply not strong enough to compete in today's fiercely contested job market.
