Curriculum Vitae (CV) Writing
There is no right or wrong way to write a CV but there are some common sections you
should cover. These include: personal and contact information; education and qualifications;
work history and/or experience; relevant skills to the job in question; own interests,
achievements or hobbies; and some references.
How do you write a CV?
• Create the format for your CV. ...
• List your name, address, telephone number, and email at the top of the page. ...
• Write a personal profile. ...
• Create a section for your education and qualifications. ...
• Create a section for your work experience. ...
• Create a section for your skills and achievements.
How long does a CV have to be?
Keep your CV short, punchy and to the point. This means it shouldn't run to more than 2 pages
of A4. When your CV is too long - and many of them are - then this suggests that you've been
either job hopping (which is a 'no no') or you can't write concisely (which is another 'no no').
What is a CV when applying for a job?
CV is an abbreviation for Curriculum Vitae. If a job advertisement asks for a CV, that's a hint
that the employer expects a great deal of life experience and accomplishments, including
education, original research, presentations you've given and papers or books you've had
published.
