How to write a CV

Show an employer what you can do and why you meet the requirements.

Before you start

Read the advert. Make a note of the experience, skills and qualifications the employer needs.

What to include

Add your contact details, a short profile, experience, education or training, skills and relevant volunteering. Give examples rather than unsupported claims.

Check your CV

Keep it accurate, easy to read and relevant to the vacancy. Ask someone to check spelling and layout.

Ask for careers advice.
