We have assembled some tips to help you maximise your chance of getting the position you are interested in.

It is essential that you perform your best at that all important face-to-face meeting with your prospective employer. Interviews can be very nerve-wracking. However, you should always remember that the client is already interested in you as a potential employee, since they have seen your CV - the hardest bit is over!

• Ensure your resume is well laid out and has a feeling of consistency so that it is immediately easy to read and understand. Plenty of 'white space' around the borders and between each section keeps the document easier on the eye.
• Use concise, to the point, unambiguous sentences. Keep it short & clear.
• The CV should be between 2 - 4 pages.
• Emphasize your  accomplishments and the skills that you use to get the results you achieve.
• If you are making a career change, it would be useful to highlight your transferable skills.
• Put your highest level of education first.
• Put your most recent job first and work backward chronologically in time.
• Be Accurate, run a spelling and grammar check and ask someone else to read it for you. Read it aloud. The employer isn't going to believe you're a good communicator if your CV is full of mistakes.
• Avoid references to hobbies, activities and memberships which are not business related or have no relevance to your current career goals or job objectives.
• Be Truthful. Although you obviously want to present yourself well, don't go too far and embellish the truth. It can easily backfire on you.
