Your CV in Basingstoke

Add News

When first applying for that new job in Basingstoke, there is certain etiquette to adhere too.

To get the job you are seeking, you need an interview, too get the interview you need a CV or Curriculum Vitae. What is a CV?

A CV is an essential tool in your quest for that new job. A potential employer will expect to receive from you a well presented CV, on good quality paper. Not the cheap copying paper you can buy in Staples - Basingstoke for pennies.

Your CV should  contain the following information about you

  • Your Life History
  • Your Job History
  • Your Achievements
  • Your Skills

Take time to compile your CV, dig out all your School and college certificates and qualification where necessary to back up your CV. Do not make it too involved, the idea is to give the reader a brief overview of your background, keep your CV within two pages in length.

The CV below I had compiled by a professional on leaving the Royal Air Force before settling in Basingstoke, it led to three job offers, so therefore the format has my vote.
