A good CV

[Syphon]

+ Rep for all of you

You have all given me plenty to write about for the next few days, I will make sure I have it perfected before the weekend and I'll PM it to a couple of you to have it checked [minus the phone number etc.].

Make it short, and put things you like, like reading books etc, NOT PLAYING HABBO etc.

[Syphon]

Of course I love reading books, shame they cost so much -.-

Keep it simple and smart, layout it clearly in sections.
First section should contain all your details (Full name, DOB ect) and contact information (Mobile and home numbers, email address and postal address) after that you'll want to have a section on your qualifications and skills, then a section on experience, finally if you want to chuck it in list a couple of references. It's a CV you don't want to be writing paragraphs about yourself, because no one cares and no ones going to read it, just think your padding your CV. If they want to know more about you they will ask for it in the application form, if all they want is a CV then they'll ask what they want to know in the interview (as long as you have the required qualifications you should get an interview if they are only asking for CV's)

Oh and as your young it shouldn't be more than a page unless you have heaps of experience/qualifications already somehow.
