Most importantly they’re tailored to the people reading them. So make sure you adapt yours accordingly, using relevant key words for the job you’re applying for.  \nThere’s no perfect format for a CV but you can use the following sections to create one that’s easy to follow.  \nPersonal details  \nInclude your name, address, preferred contact telephone number and email address.  \nOpening statement/Personal profile  \nA couple of sentences that summarise your personal and professional qualities and career objectives. Always tailor specifically to the role to demonstrate your suitability for the job.  \nKey skills and achievements  \nFour or five bullet points to summarise key achievements in your career. This could be to emphasise the amount of professional development you have completed, initiatives you have introduced, projects you have been involved in or skills gained through specific experience relevant to the role you’re applying for.  \n2  \nThinking about your career  \nEmployment/Experience  \nA chronological list of your experience and posts held, beginning with the most recent. For each post held, list the date of employment, name of employer, job title, your responsibilities and your main achievements.  \nInclude three or four of the responsibilities you held at your most recent and two or three major achievements relevant to the position for which you are applying. Wherever possible describe what you’ve achieved and the skills you have gained, giving specific evidence of your competences. Go through the job description and person specification if there is one.  \nEducation  \nA chronological list of the courses you have undertaken and qualifications gained, including dates and names of educational establishments. Summarise your professional qualifications and education to date. Include your Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) pin number and expiry date.  \nProfessional activities  \nDetails of events, training days or workshops you’ve attended, membership of professional bodies, any shadowing you’ve done and any RCN activities you have taken part in. Include articles published, membership of professional groups and papers delivered at conferences.  \nOther activities  \nYou may want to include extra information about your interests outside work and whether you hold a driving licence.  \n3  \nThinking about your career  \nAction words  \nidentified initiated established organised launched implemented successfully improved trained managed developed produced negotiated created recognised fulfilled co-ordinated  \nCV tips  \n• Try to use “action” words. These will bring your CV to life.  \n• Explain gaps in employment where, for example, you raised a family, went travelling or cared for a relative. Remember that these are responsible reasons that bring extra skills and experience.  \n• Think about any achievements you’ve gained through voluntary work.  \n• Try to use numbers to create an impact, for example,‘managed a team of 30 staff’, ‘responsible for a budget of £500,000’.  \n• Don’t exceed two pages – keep to the point. If you have a lot of experience, simply summarise positions you held more than ten years ago. If you have published a lot of articles, select the most important and summarise others  \n– for example,‘More than 20 articles published in the nursing press on aspects of diabetes care, professional development and education’  \n• Avoid using different font styles. Keep it simple.  \n• Only use abbreviations that can be recognised easily.  \n• Inclusion","cbCaiuhrv2HmiBXT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuhrv2HmiBXT","pdf",104985,9,"English","# Applying for jobs\n## Your CV\n## CV tips\n## Supporting statements\n## Example supporting statement","[{\"question\":\"How should a nurse tailor a CV for a job application?\",\"answer\":\"Adapt your CV to the role and demonstrate suitability to the people reading it.
