Careers

Don't be swayed by convention

Convention dictates that you put CV at the top, or possibly your name. The you put your address, phone number, nationality, possibly your date of birth, email address, mobile number and then maybe about a third of the way down the page you start on what it is you've been doing with your life. That's one way of doing it, but by the time they've found out you live in Bognor Regis the reader is bored and ready to move on to the next CV.

Put your personal detail in the footer of the page, or even near the top but after your initial summary.
