Example CV
Your CV is vital to getting you noticed by potential employers; this is your first opportunity to impress them with your work experience and skills. The CV layout keeps the information coherent and often contributes to the success of a candidates CV. There is no exact way to layout your CV, but keep it consistent and stick to main headings.
Here is an example of the CV framework you could use:
1. Personal Details
Your Full Name
Address, telephone number and email.
2. Personal Statement
Brief summary of your CV - highlighting your key skills and academic interests.
3. Education and Qualifications
Your degree subject and university, plus A levels and GCSEs or equivalents. Mention grades unless poor!
4. Work Experience
State your most relevant work experience and provide an overview of what you achieved and gained from your experience.
5. Interests and Achievements
Keep this section relevant and don't put many passive, solitary hobbies - activities that are a little out of the ordinary can help you to stand out from the crowd.
6. Skills
Any computer skills or languages acquired should be stated.
7. Referees
Normally two referees are sufficient; alternatively, you can state references are available on request.
