CV (Curriculum Vitae)

Study the following information about ways of writing

Curriculum Vitae: an outline of a person's educational and professional history, usually prepared for job applications. American name for a CV is a résumé. A CV should include:

Personal details

Normally these would be your name, address, date of birth (although with age discrimination laws now in force this isn't essential), telephone number and e-mail.

Education and qualifications

Your degree subject and university. Mention grades unless poor!

Work experience

• Use action words such as developed, planned and organised.
• Even work in a shop, bar or restaurant will involve working in a team, providing a quality service to customers, and dealing tactfully with complaints. Don't mention the routine, non-people tasks (cleaning the tables) unless you are applying for a casual summer job in a restaurant or similar.
• Try to relate the skills to the job. A finance job will involve numeracy, analytical and problem solving skills, so focus on these whereas for a marketing role you would place a bit more emphasis on persuading and negotiating skills.
