Take Ten Tips

For CV and interview advice follow these ten pointers.

· CVs used to be a list of dates and facts, now they are marketing tools.
· Adapt your CV to suit each application; do not use just one standard.
· Look at the job description and make sure your CV matches that description.
· Do send a covering letter explaining how you offer everything they are looking for.
· Use bullet points to make the CV easier to read and list your best points first.
· Before an interview research the company and the people likely to interview you.
· How will you use your past experience to the advantage of the company?
· Dress appropriately for the interview, personal presentation matters.
· Watch your body language, especially if there are grey areas on your CV.
· Remember it’s not only candidates who may not tell the whole truth, that job may not turn out to be everything promised. For more advice on CVs and interviews visit recruitment specialists Cummins Mellor.
