Your CV is one of the most important things you can have to aid yo in finding a job. Often no one will give you the time of day unless they can look at your CV and read about what skills, qualifications and experience you have.
A good CV can be the difference between progressing to the next stage and invited for an interview and being rejected. It is important to put aside a good amount of time to put your CV together and once complete, check it and check again. You may need to update your CV if you are still working and gaining different experiences that you may want to add on.
When writing a CV there may be times when you have to put down something or miss something out – which may not look great such as a gap in employment or short employment periods at a number of different companies. Although there may be a genuine reason for this, it may stand out as a warning sign to an employer and if you do get asked to an interview you may well be asked about it. Always be honest but try and think in advance about what you are going to say so it diesnt throw you.
