Preparing a Curriculum Vitae (CV)

Your CV is your device to get you to an interview. Accordingly, it must stand out from the crowd. How do you do this? It is important to present to each employer, a specifically tailored CV. This means that you should customise your CV to meet the particular requirements of the job in question. The skills, which are most in demand by the particular employer, should be prominent on your CV. Stress your main attributes clearly at the beginning of the CV. Presentation is very important. Keep it simple and do not make it longer than two pages. Our suggested format of main headings in order of importance is set out below:

	Personal Data
	Areas of Special Competence and / or Technical Summary
	Professional employees will only contact you at work with your permission
	Education
	Professional Associations
	Professional / Employment History
	Major Assignments
	Awards and / or Interests
	References
