2. It must communicate effectively with the recipient or assessor i.e. you must present information in a format that highlights your experience, skills and achievements in a way that can be quickly assimilated, understood and retained by a potential employer or recruiter.

3. Your C V should be a summary only. Leave details for discussion at interviews. Too much or too little details may serve to discount you for consideration. Strike a fine balance.

7. Don’t forget to spell check and proofread your C V. Read your C V. A small error will mar the credibility of a well-prepared C V. Better still; get someone else to proof read.
