Layout - Structure your CV in a reverse chronological timeline and include dates. We want to see what you’ve done most recently and how it would fit with us.

Location, Location, Location - This may be a simple one, but apply to areas easily commutable to your home, If you are applying to an area you are planning to move to please mention that you are relocating.
Explain your gaps - Gaps in a CV are completely fine, but we would love it if you would explain them. If you travelled the world, tell us then we can get to know you a little more!
Tailor - Tell us how your previous experience is relevant, tailor your CV to the job you are applying for and how you meet the job description.
Precise and Snappy - Keep your duties of your previous jobs short, snappy, and precise. We don’t like waffle bullet points, capture our attention!
