University's turn out hundreds of professionals every year into a world of applicants all looking to make that perfect first impression to get 'that job'. Lets face it, it seems to be even more difficult to stand out, think about it, what makes you better than the hundreds of others applying for the same position?
At a glance:
That is all it may take to select you through to the interview stage, a glance at a piece of paper that represents you. Form experience of both writing my own CV and reading others it is very important to keep some points in mind:
1. Keep it neat.
2. Clearly defined your qualification starting with the most recent.
3. Define any experience, but keep it short, focus on key points only.
4. When using a reference ask their permission first.
5. Supply a cover letter. This should clarify who you are and details of the position you are applying for.
6. Check for spelling mistakes.
The best tip I can give is simple; We are not all graphic designers so why not buy a professional template, this is an excellent way to have an outstanding CV/Resume. They have been created by professional designers for anyone who wants to 'POP!' with out any hassle, It also proves you care enough to do some research.
Templates:
The template is laid out in a visually appealing design that you simply drop your information into. You can then print or email your very own professional CV as you please.
Some CV/ Resume templates even give you points on what to write into each section, very helpful. The best of these can be found on graphicriver (search for CV/Resume), you will have the freedom to choose from a variety of colour, layout and print size. Some of the authors will even edit the template on your behalf. All in all this is in my opinion is a perfect way to make a lasting first impression
