Everyone who looks at you CV expects to see things included in a certain way. Failure to meet the recruiters expectations basically end up with your career hopes through that job filed under b for bin. If you walked into your local sports stadium and there was no playing field, you wouldn't stay there very long would you? It's the same thing with your CV
Your name needs to be shown prominently at the top of the page. First and second names are absolutely fine and shortened versions of your first name are becoming increasingly acceptable. If you prefer to be called Kath and not Kathleen, please make sure the recruiter knows your name. Be careful with nicknames- a shortened version of your name is fine, gummy bear is not.
Basic contact information need to have a prominent place at the top of the CV. Your name, full postal address including postcode, your land telephone line and mobile number as well must all be included. Please make sure that they all are easily readable at the top of your CV
Being able to see if your CV fits with the needs of the recruiter is very important. A brief paragraph at the top of your CV, called a career statement or personal profile should do the trick. Show how you can help a business, in what industry sector, what geographical area, at what level, and what track record can you point to with which to support your application. Basically, this should entice the recruiter to read more
Career history. This needs to highlight your achievements in each of the jobs you've done over, say the last 8 years. Work experience further back in the past should be included in an "other" work section towards the end of the document. Work from your most recent achievements in reverse chronological order (work back)
Please remember that academic qualifications are gained through academic institutions like schools, colleges, etc. They are different from professional qualifications and should be separated out from those qualifications in a section of the CV of their own. Starting with the highest level of qualification, itemize all your qualifications, in the order: qualification, institute, date(s)
Professional qualifications/ training courses. These are very different from academic qualifications nd should be listed as such. The same protocols as academic qualifications apply but the level of qualification is a little more subjective. Write them down in the same order: Qualification, Training provider, date
Hobbies, interests, driving license, age, etc. This should be one of the very last things to be written on your CV. Make sure that this information is factual, and do not put your actual date of birth into the CV as you never know where the CV will end up- identity theft is a very real issue and you should protect information like your date of birth. You don't actually need to put your age on at all if you don't want to- leave it out - 16887
