Introduction

CV stands for Curriculum Vitae, which literally means 'The course of one's life'

A CV (sometimes called a résumé) is a concise document that outlines the relevant facts about you and your experience to a prospective employer.

Unlike filling in an application form, writing a CV offers you the chance to present information about yourself in a way you feel highlights your strengths and particular experience.

 

NOTE:

  • There are many different ways to lay out your CV and this website gives you some examples of CVs that our clients have found helpful.
  • When compiling your CV you should bear in mind that employers can check the details you give. They can access a database containing details of academic achievements, employment and membership of technical bodies. So remember to be truthful
