During more than 20 years of professional CV writing for clients of all disciplines, one startling fact has emerged above all others job seekers, irrespective of age, qualifications and profession, are generally unable to be totally objective about themselves. Apparently, it seems, the higher an applicant s qualifications, the less his ability to submit an adequate written summary of his own skills and achievements.
Presentation is vital.
Concise, precise, with just enough information to make a recruiter feel compelled to interview you, your CV should be structured so that any part of the information it contains can be seen at a glance. If valuable time has to be spent searching through your CV, then it is likely to become a rejection. In order to achieve success, therefore, all aspects of the project should be scrutinised. If, before writing your CV, you know which specific post you want to secure, you should aim to emphasise skills and experience of particular relevance to that post. Try not to write more than 2 or 3 full pages.
