Your CV is our tools by which we introduce you to our clients; creating a killer CV is paramount to success.

General Recommendations;

• Ensure that the CV is thoroughly checked for poor spelling, grammar and typos.
• Be cautious not to make the CV too duty-oriented, at the expense of outlining the individual’s experience and achievements.
• Avoid long paragraphs and use concise bullet points instead of long winded paragraphs.
• Ensure that all details in the CV are accurate; Contact Details, Employment Dates etc.
