How to structure your CV
Imagine a business document. Perhaps a Project Definition Document. Think about the luxury of white space, simple bullet points - then detail when it's needed. This is what we are aiming for.
- Page 1 - Name, address, date of birth, address, phone, mobile, email address and personal summary or statement of your personal objectives regarding your career
- Page 2 - Software, tools, methods, qualifications, hardware, techniques - simple vertical lists
- Page 3 + Your CV in reverse chronological order.
For each job, show:
- Dates: From X to Y
- Client Company / Employer
- Your role / title
- Software, tools utilised here
+ Several paragraphs describing exactly what you did, how large a team you worked in, types of projects and technologies used. Problems and issues overcome etc.
+ If you worked on multiple projects over the years, perhaps describe each one using a different paragraph or sub section.
+ Utilise bold to highlight the major tools used. But don't over-do it. If you were writing ASP using IIS Version 6 then highlight it accordingly - particularly if you are applying for a job where ASP and the .NET framework was part of the role.
