Task 2. Read the following CV writing tips. Discuss in class.

Tailor it to specific job roles. Do not use a “one size fits all” mentality, tailor each CV to match the job specification.

Avoid gaps. Employment gaps can raise suspicions, even if your reasons are completely legitimate. Spin it to your advantage and explain what you were doing. Whether you returned to education, gave back with volunteering or went travelling, it pays to be honest.

Make the most of your experience. Use strong, positive language such as, “developed”, “organised” or “achieved”. Make sure it connects your experience and skills to the job specification helps.

Tell the truth. Embellishing may be tempting, but lying on your CV opens up a can of worms. Stick to the truth!
