Resource: CV Advice

The primary objective of your CV is to gain an interview either with a potential employer or a recruitment consultant and to create a positive impression about you in the mind of the interviewer before you meet. Your ultimate goal is to secure the position.

Some advertisements have significant response levels - in some cases as many as 200-300 - so you should understand that the initial review of your CV will probably not last any longer than 2-3 minutes. It is vital that it makes a positive impression. It needs to be easy to read, in a professional, business-like style and focus on key achievements. The covering letter needs to be clearly tailored to the description of the position and the candidate specification.
