Writing a CV can not only be daunting but also very time consuming and often stressful. Ideally you only want your CV to be one or two pages long and it should be concise and to the point.

As part of your CV you should include your employment history. Some people struggle with this, not knowing what exactly they should include and how much detail to go in to. This really depends on what job you are applying for and how long you have been employed. You should try and include as many jobs as possible as you do not want to show a gap in your employment if there has not been one.

You do not need to mention jobs that you had as a young adult such as paper rounds or waitressing unless it is relevant to the position you are applying for. When detailing your responsibilities it is good idea to bullet point them so as not to go in to too much detail.
