What is a CV? Curriculum Vitae Literally, 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? 1. Personal Details 2. Career Aims or personal profile 3. Educations and qualifications 4. Employment/work experience 5. Achievements 6. Interests and leisure activities 7. Referees

Your CV…  What skills do YOU have?  Think about 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!!!

Hints and Tips… 1. Check your address – ?! 2. Check spelling and grammar! – 70% of CVs are rejected due to spelling mistakes! 3. Make sure you have the correct telephone number! 4. Don’t lie. 5. Tailor your CV to suit the job you are applying for.
