CVs - How to make them stand out from the crowd
When applying for a job you may have to fill in a form or write a letter. You mayu also be asked to submit your Curriculum Vitae (CV).
What is a CV? This is a personal information sheet containing all your details, age, date of birth, exams passed, work experience, hobbies, etc. If you can, it's worth getting your CV typed and having some photocopies made - you'll save yourself a lot of time if you're going for more than just one interview.
Your CV is a useful addition to your Record of Achievement or progress file from school. You can adapt it as you gain more experience and re-write or re-type parts of it. Remember to keep your original copy. All Careers Offices have a computer programme which can help you design your CV, and then you can keep all the details on disk for later use.
Remember, be careful what hobbies you list as you'll probably be asked about them at an interview.
