"I just thought I would email you to say thank you for all your hard work on the CV.  It really is first class, and if I can't get a job with Alan Sugar I will not hold you responsible"!

"The service I received was first class. I was extremely impressed with the professionalism and efficiency of the company. I now have a CV which is factual, interesting and eye-catching which I am confident will lead me to the job I desire"

If you are still not sure, ask yourself if you know the answers to the following questions:

• Should your CV begin with a profile or personal statement?
• Should you include a list of achievements?
• Should you list your key skills?
• How long should a CV be?
• Should a CV be a list of duties and responsibilities or should it focus around your career achievements?
• Should it say Curriculum Vitae at the top?
• Where should you put your personal details?
• Is marital status relevant?
• Should a CV include a list of hobbies and interests?
• Should you list every job that you have ever had?
• Should you change your CV for different roles that you apply for?
• Should you include a description of your current and past employers?
• What style of writing is appropriate?
• Should a CV be written in the first or third person?

Personal Profile:

A Personal Profile or Personal Statement is key to a successful CV. It helps the reader to understand who you are; what your core skills are; what your current situation is; and what kind of role you are looking for. The Personal Profile must be carefully crafted in order to project the correct image of you and your career.

Achievements:

Achievements are key to winning interviews; they provide evidence that you are good at your job and back up otherwise unsubstantiated statements. Our Career Consultants will work with you to draw out the most appropriate examples and put them into a format that is going to impress the reader of your CV.

Testimonials:

Testimonials on a CV? Absolutely! If you have had good feedback from a client or ex-boss then it may be appropriate to include this in your CV. Although they are not appropriate for every CV, testimonials communicate an impartial view of your abilities and can be a very powerful selling tool.

Career History:

The meat of the CV. The career history must be written in a way that sells you to a potential employer and must also provide evidence of your abilities by incorporating achievements. It is important to describe your duties and responsibilities in a 'features and benefits' style so that the reader understands how your skills can benefit their organisation.
