A lot of people focus on their presentation when they write their CV. However, CV content is arguably far more important. Not only that, but it is also far more difficult to get right. In addition to first class English skills you need to present the content logically, legibly and pertinently and in a concise and proactive manner.
Significantly, top-quality content isn't just about what you include; it's also about what you exclude. And the best CV writers get into the employer's mind and work selectively.
Most laymen just don't do this when they write DIY CVs, and that's one reason why professional CVs can be far more effective in the job market.
This CV Content article has been taken from excerpts from a book by Paul Hichens, senior consultant at www.CVconsultants.co.uk.
