2. How old are you? it depends. some details are important depending on your experience and age. at work I screen 800 CV's per week and I can pick up a CV by looking at it. so i can help you do it.
3. If you write it in a haphazard, rushed manner, it will definitely be a useless CV. You need to pay careful attention. 1. Write your CV in CLEAR direct language. Avoid beating around the bush or over advertising skills you do not have. 2. Frame your CV in such a way that you have only 15seconds to convey your infomation to the hiring director. (i'm serious, that's all the time your CV is seen). So if you write long winded bullcrap, it'll be to your disadvantage. 3. Find out what your strenghts is. If you have no working experience ,then you need to focus on your study or sports in the front page and vice versa. Push less important information to the back page. EG: spending half a front page stating your name and address, social security or national insurance is a no no. YOUR FIRST PAGE IS YOUR PREMIUM ADVERTISING PAGE WHICH YOU MUST USE WISELY. 4. For each job, write a unique cover letter which is RELEVANT to the company. Do not mass distribute CVs.
