CVs are incredibly difficult to get right; you could say that writing a good CV is an art and you wouldn’t be far from the truth. There are plenty of good CVs circulating the job search field however unfortunately there are considerably more bad CVs out there.
Typically, bad CVs belong to people who simply write a CV without placing much thought into the content. However, there are bad CVs belonging to people who clearly care, but have little idea how to go about writing a good CV.
So, this page is aimed at helping those who do care, create an improved CV. To do this we start looking at 2 CVs:
A Good CV Example: Professionally written with a clear layout and good content that grabs the reader’s attention
A Bad CV Example: Clearly written by someone in a rush who demonstrates little care and understanding of the CV writing process.
Having reviewed each CV we will then compare each CV section and analyse what works well in the good example and the ways in which the bad example fails.
