graf-after--h3\">When it comes to applying for jobs, a good CV is your golden ticket. It opens doors, and it gets you in front of hiring managers. But to do so, it has to be well constructed, designed with a purpose, and compelling, too.<\/p>\n<p id=\"b28f\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">Gone are the days when a CV was simply a list of past jobs and accomplishments. Now, it\u2019s a calling card, a piece of branding that communicates who you are. Let\u2019s look at 5 things to think about when writing a CV\u2026<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"9855\" class=\"graf graf--h3 graf-after--p\"><span style=\"color: #515d7a;\">1. Your\u00a0Story<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"f225\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--h3\">This is perhaps the most important aspect of your CV: your story. When writing your CV, think about how each part ties together to create a story that people can buy into. You want each job to clearly show progression forwards, and each piece of information needs to lead on from the preceding paragraph. This creates a piece of writing that hiring managers actually want to read. Your story matters, it\u2019s what makes you unique. Make sure your CV captures it well.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"5da9\" class=\"graf graf--h3 graf-after--p\"><span style=\"color: #515d7a;\">2. The\u00a0Basics<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"9d06\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--h3\">Once you have an idea of your story and how you want to tell it, make sure you read over your CV carefully. A misplaced word or a typo will make you look sloppy and unprofessional. Neither of these are good impressions to give a potential employer. Fortunately there are some great free online tools you can use to ensure you write flawlessly.\u00a0<a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.grammarly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.grammarly.com\/\">Grammarly<\/a>\u00a0is an excellent option for spelling, and you guessed it, grammar.\u00a0<a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hemingwayapp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-href=\"http:\/\/www.hemingwayapp.com\/\">The Hemmingway App<\/a>\u00a0is useful for analysing your writing for clarity.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"a73b\" class=\"graf graf--h3 graf-after--p\"><span style=\"color: #515d7a;\">3. Your\u00a0Purpose<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"7ec1\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--h3\">In most cases, it\u2019s worth tailoring, or even completely rewriting your CV, with whatever job you\u2019re applying for in mind. Your CV should always be written with a purpose and that purpose should match up with the job you\u2019re applying for. Your CV must be designed with the job description in mind and you need to clearly show how your skills and accomplishments will benefit a potential employer. Don\u2019t leave them guessing! This also shows a potential employer that you\u2019ve done your research, too.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"fc26\" class=\"graf graf--h3 graf-after--p\"><span style=\"color: #515d7a;\">4. Contact Information<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"cc95\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--h3\">This seems self explanatory, but including as much contact information as possible can make a big difference. This includes your LinkedIn page, any social sites that you use professionally, your mobile number, your personal\/company website\u2026 the list goes on. But the more information you provide here, the higher the chance of a prospective employer looking you up. Just make sure everything is ship shape before you send them off to look over your online presence!<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"e6ae\" class=\"graf graf--h3 graf-after--p\"><span style=\"color: #515d7a;\">5. Your Work\u00a0History<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"964d\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--h3\">Obviously your CV will detail your work history, but it\u2019s important to dig a little deeper than simply an overview of the company you worked for. What did you do there? What skills did you learn? What projects did you implement or work on? Make sure that the examples you pick are relevant to the job you\u2019re applying for, and use each job to show why you\u2019d be an excellent choice for the role in question.<\/p>\n<p id=\"30de\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">The role of the CV is to get you as far as the interview\u200a\u2014\u200aafter that you are selling yourself in person. If your CV isn\u2019t getting you invited to interview, perhaps it needs a rethink.
