CV / Resume Advice

How to present your CV?

As we handle a substantial number of CV's / Resumes, we can offer the following suggestions to those intent on successfully securing an international position in their respective fields.

Keep in mind your recruiter may be wading through 100's of CV's so make yours easy to read and to easy find all the information required in the correct order.

We have included a Downloadable Format to use as a guide. Following this format will ensure you include all essential information needed by Trainor and any other recruiting entity.

The ideal CV should be approximately 3-4 pages in length. Keep the format of your document simple and avoid using boxes, frames, and other tricky formatting tools, as these often create difficulties when preparing your CV for presentation to a client. Use the full-page width available rather than wide margins. Please remember; "Long is not necessarily good". A professional, compact, two page CV is preferred to a 6 page sparsely filled or overly detailed document.

Put your JOB TITLE at the very top of your CV / Resume. There is nothing more annoying than having to search for the job title the candidate has held or is seeking.

Be sure to include all contact details and also back-up or permanent contacts where you can be reached in case current numbers or email addresses become obsolete. Include age, nationality and contact addresses.

It is a good idea to insert a concise SUMMARY of your work history and experience.

If the position requires proof of qualification, then next, briefly note your Education & Qualifications, otherwise this section can be inserted toward the end of your CV.

When describing your WORK HISTORY, i.e. previous positions and responsibilities, list in reverse chronological order (Current first) and put as much technical detail as possible while keeping it concise. Include accurate start and finish dates for each position, including location and employer.

Near to the end of your CV, you should include a list of any relevant training courses, or other qualifications or useful information.

It is advisable to include at least 3 Qualified Referees with all their current contact details. At the very least, you should have such Referee information ready to send should you choose NOT to include in your CV.

Good luck!
