When applying for most jobs either directly or through a recruitment agency, you will usually be asked to submit a CV. This is basically a report showing who you are, past education and employment history. This is for the employer to look through to see if they think you may be suitable for a job vacancy they have available or for a recruitment advisor to be able to put you forward for positions they think you may be suited to.

When writing a CV you must proof read it before sending it out. There are so many CV’s sent to potential employers that contain spelling mistakes or even missing vital information such as contact details.

Immediately, this does not reflect well on you as it shows that not only have you made a mistake but have not taken the time to re-read it and therefore correct it prior to it being sent out.
