CV Guidance
Make your CV sell you — Make your CV Stand Out
There are three basic rules for any CV. Keep it simple. Keep it short. Make it relevant.
Let's face it; corporate recruiters are busy people and don't have time to plough through pages of your life history. They want to know who you are and why they should employ you.
Next comes your CV format; wherever possible use a standard Word file format with just plain text. Most companies store CVs on a database so while your images, grids and animations may look good, you may be rejected simply because the database can't read your file.
To help us present your CV to employers in the best possible way, please email your CV to us (or submit it via this website) in a standard Word document, covering the areas outlined below in this classic CV layout. This example covers all the key areas in the order in which the majority of companies like to see your details.

I was very impressed with the overall friendliness and professionalism. Steve gave clear and open advice, was excellently informed on the client, and kept in regular contact with me, so I understood exactly where things stood in the recruitment process at each stage. Post placement, he has also been a helpful point of contact with any queries I had and has ensured my smooth transition into an exciting role.
