Quick answers while you write

All writing guides

Write a specific personal statement

A CV personal statement, also called a profile or summary, is three or four lines under your contact details: who you are in work terms, two or three things the rest of your CV proves, and the job you want next.

Describe work experience clearly

Give each job, placement or volunteering role a line with its title, employer and dates, most recent first, then two to five bullets saying what you did, how much of it and what came of it.

Build a CV without paid experience

‘No experience’ usually means no formal job yet.
