CV Checklist

  • Here's a checklist of information that you need to ensure is on your CV.

If we are producing an improved CV for you, then make sure that all of this information is included. Don't worry about the formatting as we will take care of that.

  • Sections:-

 1. Personal Details

Name, Date of birth, Marital status, Full Address, Home telephone number, Mobile number & Email.

 2. Education:

         Number and type of qualifications, in descending order.

 3. Training

         List every course you’ve ever done and how many days it was for.

 4. Employment History

 For each job:- 

  • Start Date and finish date (mm/yy)
  • Job Title
  • Company name
  • Type of business (e.g. printer, pharmaceutical company, baker, car dealer, etc)
  • Location (just the town)
  • Who you reported to (position NOT name)
  • How many people reported to you, if any, OR how many were in your team.
  • 3 main areas of responsibility
  • 3 achievements - This needs to be quantifiable if possible. How many new clients did you bring in last year? How far over target were you? How much did you reduce costs by?

 5. Other Skills

Languages (fluent, intermediate or basic).

Computing skills – programmes and skill level (basic, competent or skilled).

Any other skills that you think may interest an employer.

 6. Hobbies and Interests

These ARE important. Ignore what anybody else tells you on this one. People employ people. They want to know that you are a fully paid up member of the human race.

When you've finished typing, save the file using "yourname"CV.doc, go to Pricing and follow the instructions.
