What is a CV supposed to look like/contain?

I obviously looked this up on google first, but they are -blam!-ing varying like mad. There's no consistency. Just put down your name and where you studied and stuff like that? Is there some sort of font that physiologically persuades them to hire you?

  • Well, Ill tell you what mine has. Baring in mind I did an employabilty course, so this is done properly. 1. Contact Details: Address, Phone Number, Email. etc(Make sure your email is professionally sounding) 2. Personal Profile: Explain a little bit about yourself. What your a good at and all that. Write in full sentences 3. Key Skills: Write these in bullet points. For example, put things like Communication skills or good ICT skills. Look up "Soft Skills" for more examples. 4. Employment History: Put the most recent at the top. Give the name of the company and your title (e.g. Retail assistant) and the dates your worked there until. Also, write about the duties you did in that job. Use bullet points for this. 5. Education and Training: Most recent first. State the name of where you studded and the dates. The the Qualification you have got there. 6. Additional Information: Hobbies and maybe an achievement you are proud of. Maybe tell and example of when you used a specific key skill. Write the latter two in full sentences. 7. References: For this, just give the contact details of two references, similar to how you did your own. Use teachers or past employers. 8. SPRUCE IT UP!: Spell check (VERY IMPORTANT) and maybe add a border to make it look nice. Use a formal font and make sure you use the same size and font throughout. 9. Completed: Well done! Hope this helped. If you need anymore, dont hesitate to contact me

    • Put your details, then headings 'Education/Achievements' 'Employment/Experience' 'Skills' etc and put all relevant information. I recommend you use the Calibri font.

    • It all depends on what you're using it for. I just found an example on google and filled in any relevant info. Just make sure you include any prior experience and referees if you have them.
