Curriculum Vitae writing tips Keep your curriculum vitae: simple. concise. easy to read. able to sell you. tailored to what the reader is looking for.

WHAT TO INCLUDE Personal details Name, home address (college address) phone number, email address, date of birth, nationality. Do you have your own web homepage? Include it (if it's good!). If your name does not obviously show if you are male or female, include this!

WHAT TO INCLUDE Education and qualifications Give places of education where you have studied - most recent education first. Include subject options taken in each year of your course. Include any special project, thesis, or dissertation work. Pre-college courses (high school, etc.) should then be included, including grades. Subjects taken and passed just before college will be of most interest. Earlier courses, taken at say age 15-16, may not need much detail.

WHAT TO INCLUDE Work experience List your most recent experience first. Give the: name of your employer, job title, and very important, what you actually did and achieved in that job. Part-time work should also be included.

WHAT TO INCLUDE Professional Skills Skills developed and /or knowledge acquired in other areas such as management, sales, computers or possession of a driving license. Languages Knowledge of language(s) other than the native language.

WHAT TO INCLUDE Interests They will be particularly interested in activities where you have leadership or responsibility, or which involve you in relating to others in a team. A one-person interest, such as stamp-collecting, may be of less interest to them, unless it connects with the work you wish to do. Give only enough detail to explain.

WHAT TO INCLUDE References Usually give two names - one from your place of study, and one from any work situation you have had. Make sure that referees are willing to give you a reference. Give their full name ,title, address and phone numbers if possible.

Style of CV There are two main styles of CV, with variations within them: Chronological Information is included under general headings education, work experience, etc., with the most recent events first. 2. Skills based You think through the necessary skills needed for the job you are applying for. Then you list all your personal details under these skill headings.
