| Your CV and Letter of Application |
| Everyone has an opinion about CVs - the more opinions you seek the more conflicting opinions you will receive. But remember: |
| It is your marketing tool - use it as such. |
| If you are not getting interviews, your CV is probably to blame. |
| You should tailor your CV to the job you are applying for - no one has just one CV anymore. |
| It should be no more than two pages long. Use it to say where you have been while your covering letter should say where you are going. |
| Always reply promptly. Read the advertisement, read what you are being asked to send. |
| Remember that quality is everything, there is nothing worse than a scrap of paper or poor photocopies of a CV. |
| Check and double-check your spelling and grammar. |
Do not tell lies on your CV - you will be found out. If not at interview stage, at a later date when it could prove impossible to retract. |
| Your covering letter should say why you are the best person for the job and what skills and experience you can bring. |
