CV (Experienced, Management and MBA Hires)

If we ask you to submit your CV for consideration, take some time to make sure it highlights your skills, talents and achievements - whilst not forgetting the basics, like your contact details.

Here are some tips:

• Ensure your CV is easy to read, with a clear standard font - nothing smaller than a 10 font size, with good spacing.
• Be concise. Ideally, keep your CV to 2 pages - certainly no more than 3. Be sure to make room for details of your recent career. Reduce other sections if necessary, but don't miss anything out.
• Include a personal statement at the beginning of your CV. This should highlight your key skills, explain what you're looking for from your next position, and outline the main factors that make you a strong candidate for the role.
• Make sure your CV is not just a list of job descriptions. Whilst an outline of your primary duties should be included, we also want to know what your key achievements have been. Can you show us how you've gone above and beyond your job description? Explain your role in any special achievements, and draw attention to the particular skills demonstrated.
• Provide examples to support your claims. If you say you're a good communicator, for instance, back this up with details of the types of people you've dealt with, and how. For example: 'Delivered presentations to expert audiences of up to 500 people'.
• When listing your work history, don't assume that the reader will be familiar with your company, unless they are a large well-known brand. If in doubt, include a short sentence on what the company does, and its size.
• Check your CV for spelling and grammatical errors, and make sure it flows. Ideally, get someone else to read it through. Don't rely on a spellchecker, as it might not catch everything.
• Ensure the information you are providing is relevant. Does the recruiter need to know that you like golf or going to the gym? Does it make you a stronger candidate?
• Remember that ultimately you have to be comfortable with your CV. It's about creating the best opportunity for you to get to the next assessment stage.
