Notes on CV writing

I have realised that a majority of the people looking for jobs have poorly done CV's.

The common mistakes include bad English (spelling and syntax), poor layout, cheap ugly papers, unnecessary details e.t.c.

One of the sure way to the dust bin for your CV is for it to be guilty of the above charges. In addition, those of us with lengthy CV's should leave out the litter. Keep your CV short. No one wants to read ten pages of what you did twenty years ago.

Your CV is your marketing tool. Sell yourself well.
