Cv's


Guest

Recommended Posts

I wonder if any of you lovely people can help me? I am trying to write my CV! I havent had one in many years as usually an application form is all that is required.

 

Can anyone give any hints or tips? At the moment I am using a template from microsoft and it lists 'Objectives'?? What is supposed to go in there? (SORRY BEING REALLY THICK HERE!!)

 

Qualifications - that would be Level 3, Level 4 etc, then it goes on to Education - (GCSE's etc) But where would the short courses I have attended ie First Aid, CP etc etc

 

Thanks you

I haven't had to update my CV for quite a few years. However, mine had the following headings

 

Address

Personal details (DOB/Marital Status)

Summary (the bit where you tell them why you are absolutely perfect for the job)

Work Experience (Most recent first)

Training (Most recent first)

Qualifications (Most recent first)

Education

References

Interests and Activities

Other relevant information

Mine has a summary at the beginning which sums you up in a nutshell - it has to be fairly concise and will make the employer want to interview you - so sell yourself - no problem!

 

Add a section for training, using the same heading as the education, qualification etc. I've always understood CV's should not be too long or too wordy. Mine has two pages.

 

By the way, you no longer need to put your marital status or DOB on your CV, age discrimination and all that!

 

Good luck!

Hi i was able to open your cv and ithink you have done well in your professional profile. I wander whether in the name of future developement you have thought about where you want to be in the future for instance i personally am working towards Early years practitioner status just an idea Matkat

Good point matkat! Thank you! Perhaps I could alter that part depending on where I am sending the CV? As I am really unsure where and what I want to do at the moment!!!

Hi Jenni

I opened it fine.

I would add a section on employment history and include any gaps in your employment. I would also include a sentence about what each role entailed.

 

Your profile bit/or summary is more about you as a perosn and why you fir the paticliar job so may need adapting each time you apply.
