CV pointers

CV pointers

I am updating my CV and since I will no longer be applying for weekend jobs etc, it needs to be more geared to I.T.

Any of you got any pointers and such like that I can use?

Cheers

Gear it more towards IT.

clean, no fancy text, short, 2 pages, elegant, brief descriptions.

It already falls into that sort of area really!

Should i be ditching stuff like working in JD sports in 2001?

list of IT skills is essential


also make sure you include your Hobbies & Interests, thats always what gets you the job

how should these be listed? should i have a specfic IT skills section which just reels them off?

eg. Active Directory, Group Policy, Firewall configuraton, etc, etc?

Just list them in a grid, possibly in a

Skills | Packages

cheers for that

I have an extra hurdle to climb because I want to apply for IT jobs in motorsport so need to be even more specific lol

tell them you raced your mate down the a1 in matching cars, whilst producing complex databases on access. sure winner.

how on earth do you make a CV elegant???

oh heres snack with her expert job seeking advice again

i dunno... it's a microsoft template

with a 100% success rate I can't be doing much wrong!

(p.s. I was actually saying that a CV can't really be elegant - it can be eloquent though, so it was more of a grammatical thing)

the Man of Science has been CRUSHED

You've had an interview from every CV you've sent out?

of course it can be elegant!

font, spacing, layout, shading - ask any graphic designer!
