Anything that gets you a job interview is OK  \n• You don’t even have to have a CV to get a job. We will deal with how to use the CV later in the presentation.  \nBUSINESS WITH CONFIDENCE [icaew.com](icaew.com)  \nWhat should be on a CV?  \n• Contact details. Use a private email  \n• A profile of yourself which explains to a potential employer what they get if they buy ‘you’. If you are clear what type of job you are looking for you can include it in your profile  \n• Work history with no unexplained gaps  \n• Your achievements and significant responsibilities inchorological order. These should demonstrate the points you have put in the profile  \n• Key skills and courses attended  \n• Important qualifications – if relevant to the job you are going for  \n• Professional memberships– if relevant or significant  \nBUSINESS WITH CONFIDENCE [icaew.com](icaew.com)  \nWhat should not be on a CV?  \n• Your age  \n• References  \n• Reason for leaving a job  \n• Your marital status  \n• Your residence status in the UK  \n• Whether you are willing to move  \n• Whether you are a car driver  \n• Address? Photo?  \n• Hobbies and interests?  \n• Anything that might raise a question mark in the eyes of a potential employer. If in doubt leave it out.  \nBUSINESS WITH CONFIDENCE [icaew.com](icaew.com)  \nThe most basic mistakes on CVs  \n• Writing a list of your responsibilities copied out of your job description  \n• Including on the CV roles or tasks that you would normally expect a person in that position to do. For example if you are the Group Accountant there is no point in saying you are responsible for drawing up the group accounts  \n• If you have significant responsibilities which add to the picture of you then by all means include them. For example:  \n- Responsible for a team of 20  \n- Responsible for a budget of £10m  \n- Responsible for liaison with EEC on non competition rules  \nBUSINESS WITH CONFIDENCE [icaew.com](icaew.com)  \nA typical CV  \nName Contact Details  \nProfile  \nCareer History, Key Responsibilities and Achievements – mostrecent first. Use STAR format.  \nSkills – angled towards the job you are applying for if possible  \nEducation and Qualifications-most recent or important first  \nBUSINESS WITH CONFIDENCE [icaew.com](icaew.com)  \nHow long should a CV be?  \n• There are no rules  \n• Many recruiters will read no further than the first page. So concentrate on making an impact there.  \n• If you are beginning your career probably aim for one to two pages  \n• If you are in the middle of your career aim for two pages  \n• If you are in the third stage of your career you might need three pages  \n• Whatever length you use make sure everything on the CV is relevant to the job you are applying for, don’t pad it out and don’t repeat points you have already made.  \nBUSINESS WITH CONFIDENCE [icaew.com](icaew.com)  \nHow to write a good CV  \n• Use 3 rd person and not ‘I’ or ‘my’  \n• Use past participle action words.  \n• Write in short sentences  \n• Keep points to a few sentences  \n• Use the STAR format  \n• Clear professional layout  \n• Use normal fonts  \n• No spelling or grammar mistakes. Important HINT – read your CV out loud to yourself.  \nBUSINESS WITH CONFIDENCE [icaew.com](icaew.com)  \nPast Participle Action Words  \n• Technical active verbs  \n• analysed  \n• audited  \n• budgeted  \n• controlled  \n• delivered  \n• implemented  \n• instigated  \n• investigated  \n• negotiated  \n• re-structured  \n• Transferable active verbs  \n• budgeted  \n• cared for  \n• created  \n• generated  \n• learnt  \n• led  \n• managed  \n• negotiated  \n• organised  \n• taught  \nBUSINESS WITH CONFIDENCE [icaew.com](icaew.com)  \nHow to us","cbCaieSyAMesa2Up","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieSyAMesa2Up","pdf",452401,24,"English","# What is a CV for?\n# What should be on a CV?\n# What should not be on a CV?\n# The most basic mistakes on CVs\n# A typical CV\n# How long should a CV be?\n# How to write a good CV\n# Past Participle Action Words\n# How to use the STAR format","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of a CV?\",\"answer\":\"A CV has one purpose: to get you an interview with someone who can give you a job.
