• Curriculum Vitae Preparation
  

  You will receive a better response to your CV if it is well written, organised and relevant. This can be challenging as ideally you need to limit the length of your CV to 3 pages. In addition you need to ensure that it is relevant and not laborious to the reader.

We have listed a CV template for your reference and in addition have outlined some comments from our own extensive experience that may be helpful.
