What is the most effective type of CV?

Answer 1

i use the computer wizard to make my documents look more professional i also include all my certificates, letters or recommendation, and always have a photocopied version to leave with a new employer, you should update your CV anytime you gain fresh qualifications they always count even if they don't relate to the job you have applied for

Answer 2

One that's short and concentrates on the skills and experience that are relevant to the job you're applying for. Remove all irrelevant stuff, and start out with a short profile of yourself which underlines how you are ideal for the role. Think of it as a sales brochure - and you are the product. No more than 2 sheets of A4.

Answer 3

A Cv full off bullshit is usually most effective,never pays to be honest!!!

Answer 4

I agree with Tracey M's answer but would add that it should be kept relatively brief - two sides of A4 is really enough.

Answer 5

i have written many c.v.'s in my life and have often been told by employers that the first page MUST grab their attention at first glance or it may be ignored.
you can do this by using rounded fonts on your main title or using lightly coloured paper (light yellow or blue) will allways bring notice to your work.
