Important points about your cv
"Keep it on maximum 1 page - there is no time for the assessors to read pages and pages of explanations. If you have more than that, cut down your job description to maximum 3-4 bullet points each.
"Keep your language simple and concise.
"Print 2 copies of your CV on white paper.
"Use the spell check. There should be no spelling errors or incorrect sentences. The CV speaks for you. If you can not have at least one piece of paper correct, what is your level of English? You might not be given a chance to show it.
"Keep your photo separate, printed on a photo quality paper, do not attach your passport photo next to your name on the CV.
"Use easy to read fonts such as Verdana, Times New Roman, Helvetica or Arial.
