As we’ve seen before, it is important to not clutter your CV with anything other than need to know information. Here are a couple of ‘need to know’ tips when it comes to drawing up your CV: 

1. You want your recruiters to find you interesting, so include information that is relevant to the job you are applying for.
2. Be careful what you emphasize in your CV; it will depend on where you are in your life and your professional career.
3. Always place the most important information first to grab attention.
4. Provide evidence of what you have to offer.
5. Going back to point one, remember that a CV has a grammar of its own, don’t swamp it with paragraphs of unimportant information that can be explained in one simple point.
6. Tahoma and Verdana are good font choices for a CV with a font size of no less than nine to give you some space.
