Web sites about writing CVs
Posted: Mon Apr 28, 2008 1:14 pm
New graduates and people with minimal experience should resist the temptation to inflate their humble CV with filler. A simple career summary at the top of a CV could pay dividends in the consulting industry. It might be just a few sentences explaining your strengths, or the names of past employers and the dates you worked for them. There is room for extension in the body of the CV, but dont expand too much. As a rule, CVs shouldnt go over two sides, but in IT or corporate consulting you can include a more technical addendum, describing exactly what you have done. In procedural matters, detail can be critical, so use your judgment.
