was made redundant on friday so need to write up a CV, but as I have not done one since leaving school 12 years ago I could do with a few pointers

 

I've redone a few for people on here, drop a PM if you want.

 

Oh honey sorry to ear about friday!!!

If you go on to any of the big recruitment sites, like www.reed.co.uk or www.monster.co.u or www.jobsite.co.uk they all have great CV writing advice!

Good luck honey!

 

Important thing to remember is never send a generic C.V. Always make sure it is tailored to the indvidual company. Try and make the C.V as informative as possible whilst not dragging on and try your best to get it as close to 1 page as possible.

Use nice clear headers in the C.V so the employer can browse it easily and allow them areas at the sides, to write so they can make notes. So don't adjust your left/right margins on the document.

I had a C.V sent to me last week and quite frankly it was bloody horrific, Dojj could have done better
