The key to a good CV
The first impression your potential employer will get of you is from the layout of your CV, so be sure to make yours stand out.
It should be clear to read, with appropriate headers and in a decent-sized font.
You should also avoid “fun” fonts such as Comic Sans as they’re hard to make out and aren’t very professional.
You’ll also want to use words that are appropriate for applying to a professional role.
Plus, it goes without saying that your CV should be clear of typos and grammatical mistakes.
