The following is a true story!
When I first started in the staffing business, I decided to read some books that would enable me to help my candidate base. In the local bookshop was a book that was six centimetres thick on how to write the perfect CV! Goodness knows why anyone would read it, let alone have the focus to read it and put their advice into practice! The point I am making is that you will read 100 different articles on the subject and get 100 different answers, because CVs are subjective – what one person likes, another hates. You can follow some basic tips, though, which we've compiled in 'How to Write a CV for a Job Board'.
Some basic rules should be followed to keep you safe when job searching and hopefully land you your dream job. Adhere to the advice given in the following pages, and you will not give anyone any reasons to filter you out on the basis of your CV.
A great start would be our Free CV Builder, using your basic information and the power of AI.
