WRITING A GOOD CV

ARE you looking to write a good CV?, If, you were in the past fretting about what to put in a CV, or, indeed, what you shouldn't put in a CV, then all your worries are over, and now, you really can write a good CV and scoop that job interview.
BEAT THE COMPETITION
With the jobs market as competitive as ever, and literally hundreds of people applying for the same job, making sure a CV stands out, looks good, and doesn't get dumped in the bin is crucial in this day and age. There are apparently 16 common mistakes people make when firing off a CV to a potential employer. Here's a taster...
Some are 'no brainer' mistakes which, you would think some people should not make.
COMMON MISTAKES
Some examples, are as follows:
  • Spelling and punctuation - If you can't spell journalism right on your CV, and this happened when I was setting up my food contributor site, and was looking for contributors, one wannabe journalist did indeed spell journalism, 'journolism - if you do that, then you really do have a problem.
  • - Lots of people make the mistake of not putting up a Key Achievements section in their CV. If you don't link your key achievements to the jobs you've done, then you won't get a look in.
  • - No Photographs - Yes, true, some people put up a mugshot! While there is legislation in place that prevents discrimination on grounds of race, colour, age, etc. People who put up a photo on their CV are inviting problems. While a piccie maybe crucial if you're wanting to be a model, don't bother putting one up if you're going for a job in an office. However, it maybe useful to 'test the water' with a photo to guage results.
