You should ask yourself: Is my CV really up to scratch? Take another look at your existing document and try to see what others are doing. How old is it? Have I updated it recently Does it look fresh and attractive and make you want to read it. Has anyone else given you an objective opinion recently? However, if you’re not sure and you’d prefer to get some more advice about effective CV preparation, we’ll still offer helpful guidelines about good CV style, content and presentation - free of charge.

Bear in mind that, even if you are confident that your CV is the best one ever, it is always worth getting a second opinion. Before sending out your CV, make sure it is right for you, for the position you are applying for, and for the target audience. Think about the following points before licking the envelope or clicking the send button. "There’s never a second chance to make a first impression." "Once it’s gone, it’s gone." Make sure you’re not misrepresenting yourself. Don’t oversell or sell the wrong skills. Does it reflect an overall image of you? Just because you think your product is wonderful, its never going sell you unless you make a really determined attempt to get it to market. You realise that in some hands your CV will have just 10 seconds to make an impact and first impressions will determine your fate. Remember that a CV is only there to get you the interview; it is not aimed at winning you the job in the first instance.
