CVsolutions caters for three key levels – Graduates & Junior roles, Professionals and Executives. They work with jobseekers across all business functions and industry sectors.

CVsolutions will also include some free advice for jobseekers who want to go it alone and develop their own CV. You will find excellent CV Tips & Advice and Cover Letter Tips. There is expert opinion on CV Layout and CV Format. You will also find CV Examples, CV Samples and CV Templates.

There is much more to CV writing than simply listing everything you can about your work experience, education, skills and hobbies. It requires a focused approach putting more emphasis on the recruiter than you. 95% of all CV’s fail because they lack focus.

CV Format & CV Layout TIPS

You must avoid using the first person pronoun – Start sentences with action verbs or power verbs instead of first person pronoun. Examples of power verbs include; managed, developed, created and organised.

Keep your sentences short - CV’s need short, crisp statements and don’t get carried away. Remember that statements do not have to be complete sentences.

Use plain English – Don’t believe the urban myth that bigger words create a bigger impression. I saw a cover letter the other day with the word “sterling” and not used in the currency context.

Use bullet points – Bullet points make it easier for the reader. Paragraphs can be daunting. There are pro’s and con’s for both but my research with clients concludes that bullet points come out on top.

General to Specific – Organise you information that it flows from general to specific points.
