Activity 2: CV writing

What is a CV? CV stands for curriculum vitae. It provides an overview of your life and qualifications. Employers look at your CV when recruiting new employees. They will often have lots of CVs to read, so it’s important that yours stands out!

Top tips Keep it real Tell the truth about what you have achieved. Don’t risk someone finding out that small untruth. Sell yourself We’re not very good at blowing our own trumpets, but you should in your CV. Find ways of being positive about who you are and what you have achieved. Remember - qualifications and qualities Employers are not only interested in your school qualifications. Your qualities are even more important!

Top tips 4. Sweat the small stuff Take care over the smallest details in your CV. Inaccurate and incomplete CVs are immediately rejected by employers. 5. Match the job Check out what the employer wants in the job description and think about how you tell them that you are the person they are looking for! Always customise your CV to match the job. Good luck...

CV writing Part 1: Contact details The employer may need to ring, email or write to you so make sure these are clear! Part 2: Education and qualifications What qualifications are necessary for the job? Have you got the qualifications to apply? If so, make sure these are clearly listed on your CV with the most recent.

CV writing Part 3: Employment and volunteering experience You need to show how your previous experience will help you to do the job you are applying for. Start with the most recent job first. Make sure you include the dates and explain any gaps. It’s also useful to explain some of the tasks you did and your responsibilities to show exactly what experience you’ve gained. Part 4: Skills and personal qualities What skills are needed to do the job? Make sure you clearly list your skills and qualities to show you’ve got what it takes to do the job.

CV Writing Read the job descriptions. Choose one to write your CV for. Think about the qualifications, skills and qualities you need to demonstrate in your CV. You may want to research these job roles further on the Step into the NHS website: www.stepintothenhs.nhs.uk
