Create the perfect CV
With competition for jobs increasing by the minute, you'll want a CV to impress if you're going to bag that dream job.
According to a survey carried out by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) 47% of recruitment professionals said that half the CVs they received contained grammatical errors which was an immediate turn off.
So make sure you check, check and double check your CV. Keep it short and to the point, ideally two pages maximum, and make sure you are honest. It's tempting to create the 'ideal you' but you will undoubtedly be found out.
Finally, tailor your CV to the position you are applying for. Research the company and position thoroughly and create a CV to fit. that way you stand the best position of getting that all important first interview.
