Before you send your CV to an employer, it’s a good idea to have someone else look over
it and share their feedback.
And you may want to create different versions of your CV for each job you apply for, so
that each one shows you are a strong candidate.
The most effective CVs are persuasive, polished, and professional.
Emphasising your best skills and experiences in a concise way shows an employer that you’re
a unique, qualified candidate and a great fit for the job.
CVs are also useful when applying for university applications, scholarships, and internships.
