<div class='uawarticle'>Curriculum Vitae Checklist<br />
<br />
Quite often Curriculum vitae's will only get a 15 second look. If you want yours to stand out from the pile then you need to make sure it covers the following:-<br />
<br />
Your first impression is often given through your CV. It needs to be as original as possible whilst remaining highly professional. The design of your CV also needs to be very inviting and easy on the eye. You should aim to provide a bullet point summary of your qualifications so that the interviewer can see easily where your strong points lie. Your CV should not be too long but also it is important not to be too short. <br />
<br />
The appearance of the CV is very important as it needs to look professional as it is a reflection of you, the candidate. Take care to ensure that you use a font that is business like, you will need to include bullet points and bolding and underlining wherever relevant. Always make sure you check the finer details before sending the CV, it can be easy to miss some thing's such as bad spelling or grammar. If your CV runs over onto more than one page always make sure the pages are numbered. <br />
<br />
Be sure to make a header for each section on the CV. Check that your work history is entered with your most recent job first. <br />
<br />
Often people like to put a section for career goals on their CV, only do this if you are certain of the job and role you are applying for as it can be hard to change this if you get an interview and it comes into conversation. <br />
<br />
Your accomplishments should be detailed and wherever possible quantified by using percentages, number and other measures of success. <br />
<br />
Your CV needs to highlight all of your skills and achievements that match or compliment what the interviewer is looking for, extra information that you think will be beneficial is always worthwhile including.<br />
