When writing your CV it is vital that include past experiences and qualifications. People often list their qualifications from GCSE’s to NVQ’s or degrees and then go on to talk about previous jobs they have had and the experience it have given to them.
Obviously everyone wants to give themselves the best chance of landing the job, but it is very important not to exaggerate or make up any of the qualifications or experiences. If you do this then you may find that you are offered a position that is way beyond what you can actually do or that in the interview you are asked a question that you do not know the answer too. This can be very embarrassing and often ends in you not getting the job.
Do make sure that you have highlighted the experiences you have gained in other roles that are particularly relevant to the job you are applying for. And by highlighting, we mean, put emphasis on it.
Your CV should ideally be about a page or two long, no longer, as often potential employers have many to get through and haven’t got time to read through CV’s that go on for pages and pages.
