If you’re after a new job, you’ll probably have
to go through a job interview. Your body language, voice,
dress, and general deportment communicate volumes about who
you are. The interviewer will respond as much to how you say
it as to what you say.

Understanding the Principal Types of CV
Type
Use
CHRONOLOGICAL
List your employment history in reverse chronological order
Most effective when you are applying for jobs in the same
line of work and your CV demonstrates a clear record of progression
FUCTIONAL
Highlights your principal skills and strengths rather than
career history.
Most useful for first time job hunters and those seeking a
change of career direction
ONE PAGE SUMMARY
Summarizes your career and displays your track record
Most effective for senior managers or those looking for freelance
or temporary work. May be specifically requested by headhunters
or employers.
Clarifying your Career Journey
Just as you would not set off on a journey without a destination
and a general route in mind, so you need to plan in a similar
way to make a success of your career. By being clear about
how to achieve your goals, you maximise your chances of success.
If you are at all career minded, then you may already be managing
your career to some extent. However, there is always scope
to raise your career consciousness through analysis and deliberation.
