CV writing tips and tools

When developing and writing your CV, look at it from an employer’s point of view. Would you stand out against the competition (ie. other candidates) and would the recruiting manager want to talk you based on the content in your CV?

When starting out in the early part of your career, gaining an interview is essential so that you can expand on your CV and sell yourself despite having limited experience. Your CV is the first contact point with potential employers and a critical step to getting your ‘foot in the door’ for an interview. If you are invited for an interview, you are then in a fantastic position to explain and expand on what is in your CV and use your interpersonal skills to help secure the position.
