Look for a template on the internet.



That's what I did, anyway.

Firstly, keep a backup of it, send it to your own email address as an attachment so you can search and download it whenever you need it again regardless of what PC youre using. It is much better than saving it to a disk too. Wherever you have internet access you will be able to have your CV.

I wouldnt use a template myself, employers see them all the time and will probably bin your application/CV if they notice this, I would create one from scratch in MSWord and then do it up after typing it out fully with formatting etc

Make sure you sell yourself a lot of people dont but try not to go overboard. If you dont have much to write about skills and such write about skills and experience you have had that are not so significant such as being able to type well using a keyboard, being able to use a computer for sending email, browsing the internet for research and such is a plus if you run out of things to put. It depends on what youre applying for really but still put this on your CV, maybe not the application but within its own section on your CV, perhaps Personal Skills, Other Skills or General Skills would be good for a title.

You may find these two articles I done a long time ago useful:

The second one I think is more applicable to this thread though. Good luck!

If you've been employed before, include details of your previous employment first and foremost: from your most recent job, describe the position you worked, what responsibilites you had, what you did well/any direct praise you received, and, if possible, get testimonies from your previous employers. Alternatively, testimonies from your school or college tutors work.
Most people begin their CV with their personal details such as their name, d.o.b, address ... but that's boring, they've seen it a million times over and the important part of a CV, the meat, isn't visible until they've trawled through the mundane. Include your personal details later on!

Also, if possible, always write a cover sheet. It's basically a short bit of writing on a separate piece of paper preceding the CV addressing your potential employer, thanking them for their time and consideration, and scribing why you think you'd be good for the position. It's personable and demonstrates that you've thought about the position before you've even been invited for an interview.
