Most CVs contain information about some or all of the following:
Personal details
Personal profile
Qualifications
Work experience
Key achievements
Key Skills
Leisure interests
Referees
The order in which you put these sections really depends on what makes
the best impression with the raw material you have. If your work experience
is better than your qualifications, put it first. But don’t be tempted
to oversell yourself - if you don’t match up at interview, you’ll
not get the job. Try a couple of versions, make several drafts of your
CV and ask friends, teachers and advisors to read it and give you feedback
on how well it represents you.
Where
you see this symbol, move the mouse over each section
of the CV to get tips on filling it in.
