A lot of people consider the CV to be a standard document and see no reason for alteration, unless they have something to add. They can’t be more wrong!

By tailoring your CV according to the job description, you can get the most out of your application. 

 First and foremost, list only the necessary detailsRecruiters usually have very little time to examine your CV.If you have done work that is completely irrelevant to the next job, then don’t bother putting it down, unless it gives the college some insight into your personality.It is better to list 1 relevant job and elaborate what is was that you did, instead of listing many unrelated jobs. Blabbering on about irrelevant things will only result in the college putting your CV aside. 

Be realistic. If you are applying for a job with a lower salary than your previous job and you are willing to scale down then it might be wise to, once again, list the relevant information on your CV. Companies won’t often recruit over-qualified personnel. If you are demanding a better salary, be realistic; don’t expect too much more than what you previously earned. Remember, you’ll undergo a salary review shortly after starting and this might be a better time to discuss a raise. 

Avoid using “I” and only put your hobbies right at the end.

Be confident in what you want and where you want to be and be willing to work for it.
