Advice from the MyJobMatcher team about the Perfect CV Template.

Writing the perfect CV means a lot more these days than it used too years ago; before the internet took supremacy over being ‘the’ place people search and apply for a job.

So why does a well written and constructed CV impact on your online experience as well as whether an employer will be enticed by your CV and wish to contact you.  The reason being is that your CV contains a great deal of content information about you, which most Job Boards and employments sites (such as MyJobMatcher.com) read and match to jobs within their database.

Based on what you have written in your CV, the depth you have gone into and the way it is written will dramatically ‘increase or reduce’ the level of jobs you are matched too and the number of opportunities that are put in front of you.

The typical structure of a CV is as follows:

Contact Details:

• Name.
• Address.
• Contact Number.
• Email.

Personal Statement:

• Your strengths character wise.
• Strengths work wise.
• Your attitude to work.
• Attitude to others and teams.
• What you enjoy work wise.
• What you are looking for in a new job.
• Where are you looking to go and what is the plan with your career.

Education:

• Start from schooling that resulted in practical qualifications (GCSE’s/O Levels, SAT Scores etc in the USA).
• College/Uni if any.
• Professional Qualifications.
• Work Qualifications.
• Any Training Courses.
• IT skills.

Work Experience:

• State what your role was in each job.
