The Mechanics

How to structure your CV - the "mechanics".
We discussed in the previous section white space. Make sure there's enough white space that the page isn't crowded.

If you already have a CV, then make sure you change it to follow these guidelines:

• At least 1 inch (2.5cm) margins
• All tab stops must be identical
• Be careful when using paragraph alignment
• Don't use "tables" if at all possible - they are not appealing when viewed on a monitor
• Learn how to "right align" a tab stop
• Use the footer to put your name and CV publication date

Remember:

• Keep the structure simple. Someone at the agency might need to change the formatting to a "house" standard. Does your CV lend itself to editing in the future?
