​Top Tips for Writing your CV

So you are looking for a job. Whether part-time or otherwise, an apprenticeship or direct to the company. Your CV is the first impression that you will make on a prospective employer, so getting it right is paramount. It can be difficult, particularly when you have never written a CV previously. So here are a few top tips on how to write your CV.
​
The basics
Firstly, ensure you have all the basics. The main points that everyone should have on their CV are:

• Full Name – this is the easy part. However, some who consider their names difficult to pronounce may choose to use an easier alternative. Still put your full name but put your chosen simplified name in quotes. For example, Zuqiang “Stanley” Xuan, so employers know you are happy to be called Stanley or just use Stanley Xuan.

​You are the title!
