Suggested Answer Key
One way to stand out from the crowd when job-hunting is to make sure your CV is as good as it possibly can be. There are lots of things you can do to make sure yours makes a good impression.
Firstly, emphasise your results, not your responsibilities.
Explain why employers should choose you and highlight any progress you’ve made or targets you’ve met. Demonstrating this effectively to potential employers will show them what they can expect from you in the future. Another great way to impress companies is to share your industry knowledge. If you don’t have much experience yet, you can do some research online about the job and what it involves.
First impressions count so make sure your CV is error-free and easy on the eye. Using easy-to-read fonts like Arial help employers read about you easily with little effort. But don’t forget to proofread your CV – spelling and grammatical errors can put an employer off and cause you to miss out on a job offer.
Finally, you could include a cover letter with your CV. A cover letter gives you the opportunity to provide the company with some background information about yourself. Here, you can also include some details of why you want that specific job and why they should consider you. Oh, and don’t forget to include the details of someone who can provide you with a glowing reference!
