I believe it's important for an applicant to show passion, if you are passionate about something then it is much more likely that you will excel at it, so make sure you are applying for jobs that you have a real passion for and ensure that you show it when you meet your potential employer. Q: What information should I be putting on my CV? A: I think initially it is important to keep your CV as brief as possible without losing detail. It's hard to do but it is essential to capture the interest of your potential employer as early as possible in your CV without the need for them to read big blocks of text to find out your qualities. On top of your qualifications be sure to mention things that you are proud to have achieved in your life, what is it that makes you stand out from the others? Also don't just print one generic CV for multiple job applications, different vocations look for different qualities in an individual, be sure to take the time to ensure your CV is tailored to match the job you are applying to Q: What qualifications do employers look for? A: In my personal opinion, qualifications don't have to be job specific. A good qualification shows you have the capacity to learn, in any job there is a learning/training process an individual has to go through, if you can prove you have a good attitude towards learning through good exam
