Part 3f: The CV Layout
| Jobs : Successful Job Search CV Covering Letter And Exams Well, you should aim for a good, clear layout. Try not to write in long sentences, but keep this short, concise and to the point. There is no space for rambling. Avoid fancy fonts and layouts, something simple will do. Highlight headings in bold or capitals. Sometimes if you really think a word is important, then use bold. But don't use italic or underlining. Make sure that tables are laid out correctly. Make sure that all time in your recent history is accounted for somewhere or other - any 'gaps' will appear suspicious; if there is no account for what you did from 1997-2000, for instance, then they will most probably smell a rat. As already mentioned, arrange information in reverse chronological order, so that most recent (and make sure they are most impressive) details about you come first. Even if you have shown the same skills in each placement, then make sure that the ones you consider most relevant and most important for the jobs are the ones that you highlight in your most recent placement, that way they will stand out and it will look like you have developed them recently which will definitely be a good point in the eyes of whoever reads the CV.
