Do you want to develop your career?

I see thousands of CVs every year so I know what I am looking for and the simpler the better, so here is a list of do’s and don’ts’ for anyone planning to send their CV to me.

Do put your contact details at the beginning of the CV, the more detailed the better.

Never include a photograph. In a recent Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development survey, it was one of the features most disliked by recruiters so, unless you are an actor or a model, a photo isn’t necessary and could put an employer off before they have even met you.

Always ensure your CV is no longer than 2 pages. Recruiters don’t have the time to read that you obtained your knitter’s badge in the brownies or that you handled cash when working at a shop. The employer, dates of employment and job title are sufficient. I always like a reason for leaving, particularly if there are a lot of jobs in a short space of time.

Personal Statements? I know that I am not alone in loathing personal statements, they always say various versions of “I am honest, reliable and trustworthy and work well on my own or as part of a team etc.” No one is ever going to declare that they are dishonest, unreliable and untrustworthy, are they? If you feel that you must put a personal statement, make it very short, preferable one sentence and make it shout about you personally.

Avoid coloured fonts. If I print a CV, I only ever print in black, so coloured text can be completely lost and never use colour filled text boxes.

Avoid decorative fonts. Use a font that is easy to read, recruiters don’t have the time to spend deciphering.

Check the grammar and spelling. Bad grammar and spelling puts a recruiter off immediately. With today’s technology to check grammar and spelling for you, there is no reason to submit a document full of mistakes.

Dates are important so make sure there are no time gaps or, if there are, that an explanation is provided.

“References can be provided by request” is always preferable to putting full details on the CV. Firstly, it takes up space and secondly, you may wish to select your referees to compliment the position you are applying for.
