Here are some basic rules to bear in mind when creating your Curriculum Vitae. Profiles are discretionary, however, they are a good way of giving your potential employer a quick overview of your skills, the direction that you wish to pursue and your main strengths to encourage them to read on. A CV should consider the following: Personal details ---------------- * Full Name * Full Address * Date of birth * Marital status * Nationality Academic history, qualifications -------------------------------- * Include both school and university/college qualifications Computer skills --------------- * State all relevant courses attended and list all IT system knowledge Career history -------------- * Chronological order with no gaps * Include the name of the company, job title and dates employed * Include full job duties Achievements and projects managed --------------------------------- * Summarised details Interests --------- * Do not invent interests as you are often asked about these on interview * Be specific and expand on what you do * Interests are helpful to an employer and can help the interviewer decide whether or not you would fit into the firm's culture Referees -------- * Do not include referee details on your CV * State references available on request * Be prepared to have reference details for the past 5 years And remember, always: --------------------- * Type your CV and be ready to email your CV as a Microsoft Word document * Text should be a minimum of point size 11 - 12 so it is easy to read * Avoid photographs on your CV unless requested. If necessary, attach a photograph separately * Keep it simple and use bullets, tabs and formatting to make your CV easy to read * Double-check your CV for spelling and grammar errors. One error on your CV will often hinder your application * Keep your CV to two pages when possible Learn your CV thoroughly especially dates, as you will be asked about this on interview. > - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Donna Walton is a specialist in Library and Information recruitment with over ten years experience, assisting professionals at all levels and in various industries. > = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Latest Job Listings =================== Here are the latest additions to FreePint Jobs in the last two weeks at http://www.jinfo.com/ To receive it by email or to modify your subscription, visit http://www.jinfo.com/subs/ or email support@jinfo.com Please forward this Jobs Update to anyone who may find it useful. > - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Information / Interaction Administrator (added 30th June 2005) URL: http://www.jinfo.com/go/j4195 Recruiter: D A Solutions Limited Location: City of London, United Kingdom Information Administrator (added 29th June 2005) URL: http://www.jinfo.com/go/j4194 Recruiter: Glen Recruitment Location: London, United Kingdom Records Management & Information Compliance Adviser (added 28th June 2005) URL: http://www.jinfo.com/go/j4193 Recruiter: South West Regional Development Agency Location: United Kingdom LIS Administrative Assistant (added 27th June 2005) URL: http://www.jinfo.com/go/j4192 Recruiter: D A Solutions Limited Location: City of London , United Kingdom Assistant Librarian (added 27th June 2005) URL: http://www.jinfo.com/go/j4191 Recruiter: Sue Hill Recruitment and Services Limited Location: Sheffield, United Kingdom European Research Assistant (added 27th June 2005) URL: http://www.jinfo.com/go/j4190 Recruiter: Sue Hill Recruitment and Services Limited Location: Hertfordshire, United Kingdom Knowledge Manager (added 27th June 2005) URL: http://www.jinfo.com/go/j4189 Recruiter: Sue Hill Recruitment and Services Limited Location: London - Central, United Kingdom Archivist/Curator (added 27th June 2005) URL: http://www.jinfo.com/go/j4188 Recruiter: Sue Hill Recruitment and Services Limited Location: Norwich, United Kingdom Corporate Finance Researcher (added 27th June 2005) URL: http://www.jinfo.com/go/j4187 Recruiter: Sue Hill Recruitment and Services Limited Location: United Kingdom Researcher - corporate finance (added 27th June 2005) URL: http://www.jinfo.com/go/j4186 Recruiter: Sue Hill Recruitment and Services Limited Location: London - Central, United Kingdom Human Resources Researcher (added 25th June 2005) URL: http://www.jinfo.com/go/j4185 Recruiter: Glen Recruitment Location: Thames Valley or London, United Kingdom Knowledge Manager (added 25th June 2005) URL: http://www.jinfo.com/go/j4184 Recruiter: Glen Recruitment Location: London, United Kingdom Senior Researcher (Corporate Finance) (added 25th June 2005) URL: http://www.jinfo.com/go/j4183 Recruiter: Glen Recruitment Location: London, United Kingdom Researcher - Investment Banking (added 25th June 2005) URL: http://www.jinfo.com/go/j4182 Recruiter: Glen Recruitment Location: London, United Kingdom Evening Researcher ( 2 p.m. - 10 p.m.) (added 25th June 2005) URL: http://www.jinfo.com/go/j4181 Recruiter: Glen Recruitment Location: London, United Kingdom Business Devt.
