Your CV is often the first chance you get to make a good impression with a potential employer, so it’s important to take the time and effort to get it right.
Creating a good CV can be difficult and time consuming. It’s often hard to know what information to include and what format to use. Many CVs get rejected as a result of simple mistakes, or because employers can’t find what they’re looking for.
