When you feel you have enough data about the position you are looking at start writing the CV with a few of the things to follow in mind.
· If there are specific key skills the job description asks for, make sure that you include appropriate skills within your CV so that the potential employer can know that you are appropriate to the work.
· Ensure that the covering letter is to the point and enables the interviewer you are applying to to see why you would be the person for the vacancy. This involves making sure that any information you have gleaned about the needs of the position offered are covered in a positive way for you within the covering note.
· Ensure that your contact information are clearly shown at the head of the page so that the interviewer wont need to go searching through lots of text to get to you.
· Don’t ever use negative language when writing about yourself, your skills or the business you are interested in. Be bright and positive about who you are and the position you are interested in, you can, get the job you want.
· With educational qualifications and previous jobs make sure you provide the most recent qualification and job first and work the timeline backwards from there. Put the educational section first if you are fresh out of college with any relavent jobs afterwards. As you have more work experience put the list of employers first with your education afterwards. Within both categories draw out info that is appropriate to the work you are applying for. Add any extra relavent vocational qualifications after this.
· Your hobbies and interests can reflect well on the job you are looking at applying for if you can show the skills within it are beneficial, team sports for example showing that you can work as part of a team.
· And finally try to get the end product typed out on a computer and get a version stored on disc. If you don’t own your own computer, you might be able to book the computer at your area library or pop into a regional internet café and talk to the owner there. If you cant get to a computer and you have neat handwriting make sure you use some quality paper to give the correct impression to your potential employer.
