Employers have little time in which to consider candidates for interview from the large number of CVs they will receive in response to job advertisements. So, make it easy for them to choose you.

Break up the information by using a sub-headed approach. This will ensure that you have provided a potential employer with all the information they will want at this stage of the job-application process, in an easily digestible form:

		Name in full, include maiden name (nee, Bloggs)
		Full address and telephone details -- include fax or email details
		Citizenship
		Languages -- either written and spoken
		Educational history -- from school to current academic and professional qualifications
		Employment history
		Membership of any professional bodies
		Awards, scholarships, and prizes
		Publications, presentations, relevant projects
		Membership of any voluntary groups
		Hobbies
		References (Ask permission of a referee before prior to using them. One of the referees should be your present manager)
		Be neat, be logical and you'll be successful!
