A good Curriculum Vitae (CV) will increase your chances of you getting the job you want. It should be a brief, clear outline of your education, employment, qualifications and experience.

The ideal CV demonstrates that you are suitable for the job. The average time spent reading a CV is 2 minutes, therefore your CV should always be carefully laid out and should be no more than 2 pages in length.

Employers are likely to receive many CVs so first impressions count.

Take the time to lay it out clearly and check for spelling mistakes and errors.
