The names, addresses and status of your referees can be
included on a separate sheet. It is not essential to include them
when first applying for a job although it is sometimes useful
for a prospective employer to have an immediate contact.
Remember to check with your referees before submitting
their names.
CHECKING FOR ERRORS
◆ Sell yourself.
◆ Prepare a striking profile.
◆ Use only relevant material in your CV.
◆ List education, qualifications and jobs in reverse order –
most recent first.
◆ Remember to include your skills and achievements but
don’t overdo them.
◆ Always write legibly.
◆ Remember to ask before offering a referee’s name.
PRACTISING WHAT YOU’VE LEARNT
1. Write two personal profiles – one for a specific job and
one general one.
2. Plan your CV.
3. Write a covering letter to accompany your CV. Identify
the post for which you are applying.
