HOW TO WRITE YOUR CV
First impression
Since your CV is your first and probably only chance to catch the attention of an HR officer, make sure it makes a good impression and works for you at first glance. Don’t overcrowd your CV with irrelevant information. If a prospective employer has to spend more than a few seconds to go through your CV, they might give up reading it at all. Yet if you have many achievements, you can write your CV even on three pages, provided the layout is appropriate.
No cheating
Trying to impress your future employer by cheating on your CV is not a good idea. You may be embarrassed during the interview and your lies will be discovered. Your chances to get this job will be next to zero.
References
It is useful to give references from your previous employers. Yet you must be careful and had better check with the referees before using their names. Some of them may not have liked you. The best person to use as a referee is your current employer or if you completed your studies recently your university tutor.
