CV Writing The Student Guide…

What is a CV? Curriculum Vitae Course of Life

When to use a CV… Two main reasons for using a CV Applying for advertised job vacancies, where the advert specifies "Send a CV..." Applying ‘speculatively’ to potential employers i.e. when no vacancy has been advertised.

Important things to think about… Yourself Skills Knowledge Experience Attributes The Job Requirements Position Company

What skills are in demand? Communication I.T. Awareness Time & Personal Management Team Work Supervising Flexibility Commercial Awareness Financial Awareness Organising/ Co-ordinating Initiative Problem Solving Promoting / Influencing

So what information goes on a CV? Personal Details Career Aims or personal profile Educations and qualifications Employment/work experience Achievements Interests and leisure activities Referees

Now it is your go… In small groups create a CV for your case study. After 20 minutes we will have a look at each case study.

Your CV… What skills do YOU have? Write down as many skills as you can and how/why you gained them. Feel free to chat with your friends about what you came up with…..they may recognise that they have those skills too!!! 1. Have a chat with the people around you about the kind of skills you have. You may wish to try to guess what skills your friends have got. They might not realise they have them!

Hints and Tips… Check your email address – ilovemcflysomuchiwanttomarrythem@hotmail.com Check spelling and grammar! – 70% of CV’s are rejected due to spelling mistakes! Make sure you have the correct telephone number! Don’t lie. Tailor your CV to suit the job you are applying for.
