How to prepare and write a CV

  • Keep your CV simple, on plain paper in a professional style and font
  • Tailor your CV to each application and your CV should ideally be no more than 2 pages 
  • Put your personal details, not forgetting to include all contact details and your date of birth on the first page
  • Present your work history in reverse chronological order, with your current employer first, highlighting your main achievements in each role
  • Present your educational qualifications after your work history (unless essential to qualifying for the role)
  • Hobbies and interests should be last on your CV, with "References Available Upon Request" or include contact details of 2 referees that can be approached
