- Include a brief statement about your achievements in your previous jobs. List all employment, with the most recent job first.
- State the name, nature and size of each of the companies, and include the dates of employment and job title.
- If you are working it is best not to include the name of your current employer.
- List your achievements, responsibilities and results for each job using bullet points.
- Place more emphasis on achievements. They carry more impact than responsibilities.
- Try to highlight achievements for all jobs: e.g. increasing company turnover, improving staff morale etc.
- Avoid leaving gaps in your employment history. If you have taken a career break to travel or raise a family, just say so. Most employers will value these life experiences.
