CV tips - How to create a CV

Advisory Note -

CV's are used as a tool of introducing your skills and background as well as your personality to a prospective employer.

Every line manager has their own wish list of what they would like to see on a C.V, as a result there is no such thing as a prefect or ideal CV.

The ideas below are taken from over 30 combined years of working at the cutting edge of recruitment. They are obviously not full proof but may improve your chances on receiving an offer to interview. (We obviously cannot accept liability for the advice below).

New employers are looking for the right kind of person as well as the right technical skills and experience, avoid the temptation of elaborating on the truth or even lying about any part of your skills and background. More and more organisations are using referencing agency's before your new employment begins, they will learn about your background and experience during this process, if it doesn't match up with your C.V, they will retract their offer of employment.
