CV Advice?
CV Advice?
Hi, just wanted to ask you bunch of merry men and women, about CV's
So far i've seen so many that don't conform to a set template/standard.
But i've always been told only 2 pages and a font of 11pt or 12pt, using a Arial type font.
Any Ideas that contribute are mostly welcome.

Re: CV Advice?
I was reading the other day that the old 2 pages of A4 doesn't always apply any more (depending on what kind of company you are applying to). Some companies now use automated cv readers that scan through all the applicants looking for keywords and phrases etc

Re: CV Advice?
you can use a template for the layout, but not for the contents. try and keep to 2 pages as well if you can (if you have enough stuff to fill 3 or more pages, fine, just make sure it's all relevant) and dont make the font size too big (11 or 12 is fine, 16 for header/your name is ok too). font type doesnt matter so much as long as it looks serious and professional (ie no comic fucking sans). times new roman (a serif font) is just as good as ariel (a sans serif font).
your personal profile and key skills should be 1st and 2nd (obv after your name, address and contact details). this is what employers are looking for and it NEEDS to stand out from all the bog standard template shite that they're used to seeing. write it out yourself! no-one knows YOU better than YOU! try and make your profile and skills match the job your going for. going for admin, highlight teamwork, communication and problem solving. going for call centre, better ramp up on customer service skills etc. make the skills match the job. try the national careers service to help match what skills go with which jobs. even if youve been a bin man all your life and want to get into admin there are skills that crossover you can draw from. you dont necessarily need to have worked the job you want, to get the job you want.
try and keep more than 1 cv for the kind of job your going for as well, this is my admin cv vs my call centre cv (like i need them anymore)
admin
call center/customer service
the differences are slight, but they are there. hell, steal some of it if you want. after all that ive got my work history, which again is tailored to which job im going for. for call center, my 1 stint in a call center work is by far the largest entry. on my retail cv my retail jobs are fleshed out and for admin even tho i only worked in 1 place for 2 weeks for no pay is the biggest entry on my work histroy (for that cv). also ive you've worked somewhere for no pay. mention it! employers love it when people work for free, cos if you're gonna go to work for nothing, you#ll sure as hell turn up on time if you're being paid for it.
for education obv put school, college uni, etc, but also put any little thing you can think of down, ive even got my 1st aid course the dole sent me on back in 2006, was only valid for 3 years, but i put
2006 - Obtained 1st Aid Certificate
Obtained via Jobcentre Plus. Now void, but would like to refresh myself if the opportunity arrives again.
makes it look you you want to do extra, not only for yourself but to help others and it all looks good. oh and work from latest 1st working back to the oldest (ie school)
hobbies and interests can also be tinkered with depending on the job (so ive been told), but i just stick with:
doesnt matter that my keyboard hasnt worked in about 3 years, they dont know that! doesnt matter than i cant play bass for shit, they dont know that! you can lie, but within reason. also im always told never to mention video games, but this has always been said by older people who are non-gamers. if an employer made it to the bottom of your cv you'll [probs] get an interview. most read the perosnal profile and key skills and then decide whether to chuck it in the bin or not) and if you can an interview it's something else to mention. i always say i like adventure games (which i do), because they puzzles and they make you think (which they do). and as fun as playing tf2 and singing karaoke with a bunch of stoners is, it might not go down well with an employer. so only say thing that you can turn into positives for them. doesnt matter than when i was on the dole i sat on my arse constantly, but thtas why i added in the bit about having a bike (which hasnt worked in 2 years, but they dont know that!) so it looks like i kept active (which i did, until the bike broke down)
once you get past the factual stuff (your work history, education etc) try and make everything sound positive to them, make it stand out. like i said, most employers, if they read a bog stand, copy/pasted intro and key skills, will bin the cv, but if they like that bit and its different, the rest doesn't really matter as much. make the start of the CV the focus and hold off on enough stuff after (ie hobbies) so you have something to talk about at the interview. you never know, you interviewer might be a TF2 fan

Re: CV Advice?
Brilliant advice Dream,
Just to add, Technical CV's are more focused and snappy, using words rather than sentences. "I have experience in building and deploying with Widows deployment 2012" translates to "Windows Deployment 2012" With a high number of CV's to review a person will appreciate getting an over view without reading the life story! the story is for the interview, talk all day long about setting up the development server and the triggers you used in an interview but on paper just bring it to their attention that you have experience
Every industry has a different preferred format and its worth finding out what works best for the job you're applying to. Speak with a recruiter to find out what format, for what job. As Dream mentioned Multiple CV's are needed, I know you might have to send out 15 CV's on a day but if you're lazy and just have a general CV this will come across and an interview may not happen. If there is a job you really want take the 20minutes/30mintues to include and exclude what you feel is relevant to the position.
I have an electrical background, I will mention this in two ways. if I'm looking at jobs that are onsite IT service role so the employer knows I can plug something in and have experience in it, If applying to a support desk role I will barley mention it as electrical work is physical and I wont be rewiring a plug over the phone, however it would show an employer I might be able to spot electrical fault over PSU fault.
Plenty of waffle above but even the little things that you think are not important can be very important to your employer, just need to try and predict what they want! If going for technical jobs mention projects you may work on at home, Rasberry PI's or whatever it maybe, this supports the fact that you have an interest in tech and not just another "I got into IT cause everyone is doing it in collage" type people!
also working is for losers, I just cant find away to avoid it

Re: CV Advice?
WOW Dream - WOW
And I agree with Fester too.
Never had a CV myself - any job I had I just walked into and told the owner I was going to work for them, and somehow got away with it.
And as an employee never looked at a CV ever, had quite a few staff in some of my businesses and just employed them on face value.
For you Rich if you are still planning to work in my industry your CV is not too relevant either - your work ( portfolio ) is your CV - if good enough you can work wherever you want.

Re: CV Advice?
well went to see a chap at Reed Recruitment, he said the degree cv is better but you need to move things about and have one cv with bits from the one page general cv on the degree cv.
