Don't worry too much about how a CV should look. It's the content that's important, not the presentation. We won't be sending it to our clients. (We prepare our own report on you).

Here are our Top CV Tips:

Length: two or three pages is ideal.
Layout: open with a couple of short, factual paragraphs which highlight your skills and experience.
Work History: put your experience in reverse chronological order (latest role first), articulating your own duties and accountabilities.
Achievements: describe the value you personally brought to your employment in the Work History.
Education and Qualifications: be explicit about degree subjects, grades and awarding institutions, and list all professional qualifications.
Contact Points: don't forget to put down your full postal address, email address(es), fixed and mobile telephone numbers.

And avoid these common CV blunders:

• grammatical errors and typographical mistakes.
• using employer logos.
• mixing different text colours and fonts.

Send your CV - in whatever shape it's in - with a covering note to one of our recruiters and we'll do the rest.
