Tips On Writing Style for Your CV
These tips below are to help everyone write a more presentable CV. You might find it useful to print them out so you can reference them while you write.
- Take time to write well
Make sentences and descriptions interesting, and compelling rather than being dull and unimpressive. Vary your sentence structure and vocabulary. The idea is to make the sentences and description honest yet impressive - Appearance counts
Check everything you enter into your CV for typo’s grammatical errors and spelling errors. You can do this easily by copying the text into a word processor and running a spelling and grammar check on your work. Employers reject CVs that contain poor language and other such errors - Read it through
Once you have finished updating your CV go and view it and read it through carefully to check what you have entered is error free - Use the correct language
For example: If you are intelligent write in an intelligent way. If you are going for powerful high flying jobs, write in an imposing way - Key words
If your area of employment has key or specialized words used to describe aspects of the work then make sure you use these words in your CV. This makes it easier for the reader to summarize your skills as they read - Use numbers not words
