CV Presentation
Do:
Put your CV on high quality white paper
Restrict the length preferably to two pages, three at most
Remember that the only supporting documentation required initially is an academic transcript for non-UK qualified candidates.
Keep lots of white space around the edges of the text making it clear and readable
Limit each text block to no more than six lines
Make headings clear and consistent
Use bullet points where possible
Include your name on each page, and number all pages
Make sure all events are dated, including qualifications and employment
Make sure there are no gaps in the dates - if there are, give an explanation
Don't:
Make your CV double-sided
Use gimmicks or bind your CV
Enclose photographs
Begin your CV with your personal mission statement
List irrelevant personal details, such as names or ages of children
Enclose photocopies of references or school certificates
Make sweeping statements about how wonderful you are - good with people etc
