How to write a CV

Now that you know what to put on a CV, make your first draft. Then, take a break and review it a few days later. With fresh eyes, you can be more objective. Consider: Are my achievements relevant for the role that I want to apply for? How can I demonstrate that my skills are of value to the organisation?

Tailor your CV and edit it as necessary. Finally, get a trusted friend to proofread your CV. You can spend all the time in the world crafting what to write on a CV, but all that time can be wasted with just one spelling mistake.
