Is there a perfect template?
There’s a lot of speculation regarding what is the perfect template for your CVs and it can make it difficult for you to decide which format is best to use. We still think the template below is best to use:
Address
Nationality |
|
|
Phone no.
Email address
Date of birth |
Profile
(A short summary about you and why you are right for the particular job you are applying for - this needs to be tailored for each job spec)
Degree
Degree title
Uni name
Start date
End Date
Degree Classification (or expected)
A Levels
GCSE’s
(if you are applying for a job in your first/second year you may just want to include A Levels and GCSE’s)
Work Experience
Other Experience/Skills
Interests (make this unique - if you’ve gone skydiving put it down. You need to differentiate yourself from every other student applying for that job
