C.v layout?
Got to http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/templa... for templates for word.





You can download different CV templates for different situations.





I tend to use a one page CV, that's informative yet stylish. But it depends on the job you're applying for.





Don't be affraid to use different CV's for different jobs either. I have about 8!





Remember to research your potential employer!

i will send you a template. basically its all about displaying what you can do for the employer and the proof you have that you can do it ( experience and qualifications)
Reply:web search there are many to choose from
Reply:Keep it to 3 pages - employers get bored and file them under B for BIN if they have to read a short novel.





You need:





Objective - what your skills provide to the company on a daily basis.





Profile - brief breakdown on your skills and how long you have done the job you are in





Employment History - current job first - always provide an explanation if there are any gaps in the time line of your job - even if you say flipping burgers so I dont have to claim benefit.





Education - starting with latest (university) going back to high school





Selected skills and acheivments - have you ever done anything that has helped a company you worked for - cost saving etc etc





Hobbies and interests.





Personal details can go at the beginning or the end - I personally have them as a letter heading style box at the top of the 1st page...
Reply:Most job sites have a builder included, so take your pick, or you could just do it yourself. Microsoft Office has a built in Resume template. The number of people I see using this is amazing.





First, start with your name AND SPELL IT RIGHT. The number of people who miss-spell their name on this document of all!!





Next, a brief (1-2 lines) summary of you:


"Organised, Hard Working, IT literate individual looking to join a forward thinking, customer focused company"


Remember, edit it to fit the situation.





Work history; In reverse order starting with now or most recent. Include Employer name, Location (Not full address), dates you were there, and some of your most relevant duties. Don't include salary, and you don't need reason of leaving.





Education History continuing in reverse order, listing dates, places, subjects %26amp; awards.





You should add Skills and qualities. You could add Hobbies and Interests if it is relevant to the position (i.e. a hobby of Art would help in an art supplies shop)





Leave your references out: An employer cannot contact your refs until ready to make an offer


Lastly, dress it up:


choose the best place to put your contact details if you want them


Proof read it


Don't put a photo on unless it is modeling, acting or similar
