Tips & Advice for CVs & Interviews
Your CV
Preparation & Presentation. Your CV is the single most important document you possess. The presentation and contents are the key elements that encourage potential employers to seek more information.
A CV should be an easy to read, clear, concise and factual document that contains enough information to make you stand out above the other potential candidates. However, your CV should be an honest declaration of your experience and qualifications. It should be consistent in terms of dates and details i.e. there should be no gaps which may provide reasons for the interviewer to raise queries.
The Interview
The interview is your opportunity to elaborate on your CV and experience. Your meeting with the company representative will enable you to sell yourself and your skills.
Be Prepared
Your presentation is what creates the first impression...and first impressions last! So remember to dress smartly, cleanly and professionally. Remain as calm as possible. Greet your interviewer with a smile and a firm handshake.
