• Be punchy, leave the reviewer with the desire to know more
• Keep it concise and factual, no more than three pages
• Tailor your CV to individual applications
• Use reverse chronology, starting with your most recent position first
• Provide greater detail on your most recent experience
• Use a point size of 9 -12 in a clean and unfussy font
• Do not tell the whole story or you will have nothing left to reveal at interview
• Do not make claims that you will be unable to substantiate at interview
• Weird and wacky can make you stand out but often for the wrong reasons
• Do not lie – even the smallest lie can lead to offers being rescinded
• Avoid images, logos and backgrounds, as they can distort when transmitted or fail to get through firewalls
