CV Tips

[Postman Dave]

Anyone here good with CVs?

I know what a bad one looks like if I see it, but I'm still sorta shakey on how to present my own. I know if I get to the interview stage I'll be fine as I've never failed a job interview yet, it's just improving my CV to help get my foot in the door a bit quicker.

So, any tips? Preferably serious although bring the funny if you think you have the goods.

Graduates sent out 25 letters per interview gained.

The average graduate will send out about 70 CVs when looking for their first graduate job. Of these, the average number of responses will be 7 including 3 to 4 polite rejections and the remainder inviting the graduate to interview or further contact.

Fucking hell.
