Below you will find some tips to standing out in the job market and getting hired in the job if your dreams. The first thing to remember is to relate your CV to the jobs vacancies and not present a general piece of information on yourself.

The Curriculum Vitae
For the most part your CV will be the most important tool you have when applying for jobs. your CV is the only way that you can tell the employer you are the right person for the job and should be given an interview to demonstrate your skills.

The work experience that you list on your CV alone will influence half of all employers to give you an interview or not. A third of the employers decide to reject or accept these job applications based on the layout design of these applications.

1. Make Your CV Concise and Relevant
Do not write a really long CV. It will turn the employer off reading it. If an employer has to spend ages reading a CV they will reject it. You need to show that you value the readers time and tell them the most important information.

2. Always tailor your CV to the job.
Do not list any previous work you have done where it is not relevant to the role you have applied for. Some people keep many different versions of their CV for different job opening purposes. one CV will not be appropriate for every job you apply for. you need to make sure you show enthusiasm for the role instead of listing ever job you have ever had that does not relate to it in any way.

3. Write about your achievements
You may add your achievements, but make your statements factual and relevant. Making the most of your experiences is good but do not big yourself up without backing any statements up. Do not list any weak points however as this will turn the interviewer off straight away
