Here are a list of do's and don'ts for writing CVs

Do

  • Customise your content. Make sure everything in the resume is tailored for the job that you are applying for.
  • Spotlight your skills. List said skills and how you have used them either professionally or in day to day life
  • Proofread. This is essential!
  • Design. This is the first version of you they are going to see, make it interesting and memorable.
  • Prioritise readability. No funky fonts.
  • Show off your brand.

Don't

  • Try not to use cliches
  • Take care with colour. Make sure any colour added enhances the CV and doesn't distract.
  • One page is enough. 
  • No long personal statements. describe who and what you do in a few sentences.

Writing a good email

Always start off with 'Dear' followed by Sir/Madam unless their name is known. 
Establish the purpose of the email, this is a professional email, no pleasantries needed. 
Once the main body has been typed using correct spellings and grammar, proof read the email before signing 'Kind regards' followed by your name or signature already saved in the system. Follow this guide and your emails will be perfect.
