Writing A CV

A CV is a brief account of your education, qualifications and previous occupations, and is sent as part of a job application.

Your CV is your best marketing tool you can have for your career.  The objective of a CV is to promote yourself and get a job interview.

Consider also including:

• Your skills
• Your personal attributes
• Your work experience
• Referees/references
• Community/volunteer work

There is no one right way to write a CV, however it should be concise and to the point.
