The CV format must adhere to certain requirements. The most important information should be highlighted to showcase skills and be easy to read.
The CV should be regarded as a "window" that convinces the employer to contact the candidate.
- The entire CV must "fit" on size A4 paper for a recent graduate (for those with years of professional experience, the CV may be longer).
- The CV must be readable : the most important aspects of the CV should be clear immediately. As such, the CV should not be crowded; it should be "well spaced".
- The page should be organized and balanced. The information should not be packed at the top of the page.
- The CV should be concise.
- It is imperative to proof read for spelling mistakes and other errors. Proof read the document and make sure another person takes a look at your CV as well.
