Message: <blockquote data-quote="Maymoonah" data-source="post: 3643" data-attributes="member: 416">You should always limit to your CV to two pages. Here are my top tips on a drafting a CV:1. State your most recent experience (nothing later than three years)2. Ensure that you highlight accomplishments and not responsibilities. Avoid using generic language such as 'I proofread contracts' - proof reading isn't really an achievement. 3. Focus on why that task was important and don't just suggest 'contracts' - provide specific details what type of contract was it for? what was the deal value? What industry was the client from? (If you can't mention a specific client's name for confidentiality agreement.4. Get as many people as possible to review your CV. Any and all kinds of feedback is helpful.5. Prioritise structure, alignment and grammar. 6. Leave a 1 inch margin on all sides of the CV. Recruiters like to see a bit of white space on the CV.7. Don't waffle in your CV. Use short sentences (nothing more than 20 words). Recruiters prefer CVs that contain less than 1300 words. 1100 words is ideal if you are at the early stage of your career.8. If you are discussing your extra-curricular experience, state specific achievements too. Don't just state that you managed a society, discuss your role and provide tangible results if and where possible.9. If you have an up to date LinkedIn profile, include a LinkedIn URL in your CV.10. Include interests and hobbies if possible. This is a great way to demonstrate your personality.</blockquote>
