Your CV
·
Start with your contact
details, followed by education & then employment history
·
Always
remember the CV hotspot – the upper middle area of the first page is where the
recruiter's eye will naturally fall, so make sure you include your most
important information there
·
Ensure that your
employment history starts with the most recent
·
Include a list of duties
for each role, its also important to include details of the number of covers,
style of food & number in your team as well as a website link for each job
to make it easy for the employer to get an idea of your ability
·
Include pictures of your
food with brief description, use more pages if needed but don’t go over 4 to
keep interest
·
If you’re sending a cover letter make sure that you personalise it –
put the correct contacts name, correct job reference and title
·
Don’t be afraid to amend
your CV, tailor it to each role
·
A covering letter typically fleshes out the
examples from your CV which best show you can meet the job and person
specification of the role you’re applying for. You have the chance to write in
full sentences, so you can show your ability and perhaps convey some of your
personality; it’s your 1st impression so really consider what you
include.
·
If including an email
address on your CV think what it says about you – we’ve all seen sexybeast@aol.com which isn’t the best or
most professional 1st impression!!
·
The best CV’s are clean,
plain and direct. Ditch the patterns, too many lines/boxes/logos are a bit no
no
·
Get the basics right – SPELL CHECK!
