back, and soon...
back, and soon...
1. According to bbc.com , potential employers can
easily discern between a generic CV and one that
comes with great effort. So make sure you
constantly edit and update your CV according to the
job and department/company you are applying for.
2. Keep your CV concise with just enough of the
important information. Keep it to two pages.
3. Always, but always include a cover letter to give
potential employers a sense of who you are and
how you would fit into their work environment and
company culture. Then remember to tailor this
letter each and every time you apply for a new job,
says The Guardian .
4. Don’t forget the basics: personal contact details,
education, qualification, experience and references.
Sometimes, it’s all in the details.
5. Every potential employer would prefer a
presentable, neat and professional CV according to
the National careers service . There are different
formats to choose from, but we say simple is
always the best. And please, don’t go too colourful.
Oh, and don’t ever apply using a selfie as your ID
picture.
6. Double check before you press send, eliminate
any spelling or grammatical errors. That is the main
sign of professionalism. Get. It. Right.
7. The Guardian stresses that one should
understand the job description clearly before
applying. Clearly present your skills that match the
requirements, and fill in the blanks with related and
transferrable skills while upholding your honesty
and integrity.
8. Include interests that are useful for the job in
active language, for example: "I enjoy working in a
team/ have excellent leadership skills" - and rather
leave out irrelevant hobbies.
9. Make sure you are qualified for the job.
Jobs.ac.uk noted that before you send out your CV,
you should make sure it matches your interests,
qualifications and skills. Otherwise, it’s just a big
waste of time for everyone involved.
10. Always keep a compressed copy of your CV
says studentbeans.com: some recruiters will ask
for a shorter and more summarised version.
Therefore, take your most important information
and get straight to the point, keeping to one page.
