What is a CV?The term ‘curriculum vitae’ literally means ‘course of life’. However, a CV should not be a list of all your experiences and achievements. It should be a document that demonstrates your suitability for a particular job and company. It should show, in an ordered and methodical way, how your profile matches the employer’s needs.
When employers ask for a CV, they’re setting you the task of inventing an ‘original’ application for the job. This is different from an application form, which asks all candidates to fill in the same boxes under the same headings. The CV really is a unique selling document. It’s an opportunity to make yourself stand out. It will be different for every application you make.
The decisions about which CV style to use, what to include and omit, what to emphasise, and how to order the information, are all determined by what is the best way to sell yourself to an employer who has a specific vacancy. Your CV is never ‘done’. It’s constantly revised and rewritten for each new application.
In the US, the term ‘résumé’ is usually used to distinguish this more marketed document from an academically focused biography, although in the UK the terms are more interchangeable.
The way you present information on your CV is relatively flexible and will depend on what you have to offer. However, it’s generally recognised that all CVs tend to include the following sections.
Personal detailsKeep this section brief - no more than a quarter of a page. Ensure you’re easily contactable at the address given and if necessary include term-time and home addresses with dates for availability at each.
Email addresses are useful. Choose one that reflects well upon you - not for example, as one graduate employer reported: iamamuppetandiknowit@hotmail.com.
In or out?

Date of birth has been a usual but not mandatory feature on CVs. Age discrimination legislation made this a less legitimate CV requirement from October 2006.
Nationality is not mandatory but can be useful, particularly to clarify your ability to work in a country. International students may wish to use this section to clarify their work permit status. Although some international students choose not to include nationality on a CV, some UK employers do not recruit non-EU nationals who need work permits, and may even screen out applicants at a later stage of selection if their nationality was not previously disclosed.
Marital status, gender and health status are not included unless this information is specifically and legitimately requested for the post.

Personal profile/career objectiveIf you use a profile, keep it brief at three or four lines maximum. Use it to demonstrate your career focus and/or current aims and perhaps evidence of two or three main strengths and where they were developed. This is a part of your CV which is likely to change with every application see our sample CVs. You may want to tailor the profile to reflect company ethos and values. Avoid generic skills statements such as ‘good communicator, team worker with strong analytical skills’. Make the personal profile relevant to the vacancy and employer.
Profiles are optional and this information could alternatively be included in your covering letter.

EducationDetails about your education are usually stated in reverse chronological order, with your most recent experiences first, back to your secondary level education. Include dates, the name of the institution, and town. Full addresses are not required. Integrate your education and qualifications into one section. Think about the relevance of the information. Summarise GCSEs but market your later education more fully and use language that will be familiar to the employer. Suggestions include a list of relevant modules, information about projects and dissertations undertaken, average grades to date or predicted results, and/or skills developed. For example:

data analysis, interpreting statistical information and experience with relevant computer packages;
teamworking, communication and presentation skills developed during group projects;
creativity, initiative and design ability for artistic studies.

It can be tempting to try to cover up a poor grade by not mentioning it at all, but there may be ways of limiting the damage on paper. If you’re unsure about how to approach this, consult your careers adviser.

ExperienceAll work experience counts, whether paid, voluntary or shadowing. Aim for reverse chronological order with rough dates to illustrate how long you were there. Focus on your responsibilities, achievements in the role, and illustrations of where skills were used or developed. Try to give yourself a job title and use terminology relevant to the post you’re applying for or that shows commercial awareness.
You may wish to create a separate section for experience particularly relevant to the post you’re applying for. Typical headers might be: ‘relevant experience’, ‘technical experience’ or ‘legal experience’. Similarly, as you gain more work experience, it may be appropriate to group some experiences together.
An example would be:
Summer 2004: A variety of customer service roles including bar work, waitressing and telesales. Developed an awareness of customer relationship management and improved my influencing skills when working with challenging clients under pressure.
