How to write a CV: three myths corrected, so your CV says what the job advert asks for.
Three CV myths hold people back. One CV does not fit every job: tailor it to the advert. Longer does not impress: keep it to two pages in a plain font. Leave out photo, age, and date of birth in the UK. Show results, not duties, and list your latest job first.
Three myths, corrected:
- Myth one: one CV fits every job. Fact: tailor your CV to each job, using the words in the advert.
- Myth two: a longer CV impresses. Fact: keep it to two pages, in a plain font, with short bullet points.
- Myth three: add photo, age, and date of birth. Fact: leave them out in the UK.
- Show results, not duties: start each bullet with an action verb, and use the advert words.
- Right order: list your most recent job first, with contact details, profile, education, skills, and references.
- Rules differ by country, so check the norms of the country you are applying to.
