information to include in your CV

Our candidates don't usually need to be told how to write a CV - but you can help us to help you by observing these points:

• Be sure to give your degree grade, and grades of your A levels (or equivalent). If you don't state them, we will tend to assume the worst.
  
  
• List your academic and work experience back to age 18, preferably in reverse chronological order.
  
  
• There should be no unexplained gaps - if you were unemployed, travelling, or returned to full-time education, please say so.
  
  
• Give dates to the nearest month, eg March 2005 - July 2006. (If you put just 2005 - 2006 this could mean two weeks or two years.)
  
  
• For each job, include the company name, location, industry sector, and your job title.
  
  
• State why you moved jobs, and if possible how each move advanced your career.
  
  
• Most importantly, focus on what you personally did in each role. Our clients want to know what you've done and how you did it.

But don't worry if your CV doesn't contain full details at this stage - if you think we are the right people to help we want to hear from you now.
