YES!! There are lots of templates around & many of them are too fancy, using unclear columns & graphics. Also, if you think about the amount of people applying for a position, if 99% of the applications are using the same template – you want to stand out from the crowd! #WIPcv

When you have a new qualification or positon to add. If you aren’t getting interviews from applications, it is also a good idea to go back to your CV and see if you can make any changes. #workinpublishing #WIPcv

None - references should not be included on the CV. These can be provided at the point of an offer being made. ‘References provided upon request’ can be written on your CV instead. #workinpublishing #WIPcv

6) Listing experience the wrong way round – most recent should be at the top. 7) Writing CVs in third person! It makes it sound like someone else has written it for you. Sorry - there isn't just one!! @PublishersAssoc #WIPcv #workinpublishing

There is lots of conflicting advice on CVs - but the quick answer to this is no, but 2 pages should be the maximum. #workinpublishing #WIPcv

From being selected for interview. I would also recommend referring back to the original job description you were given for each role you have been in. What points can you add or expand on? #workinpublishing #WIPcv

You need to highlight relevant skills & experience for the position you are applying for in mind. This shouldn’t duplicate your CV! Be concise, identify your unique selling points & be positive about what you have to offer. ✍️📚 #workinpublishing #WIPcv

A cover letter should be no longer, than one A4 page and be specific to the role you are applying for. Typically, three to five short paragraphs. ✍️ #workinpublishing #WIPcv

@Naomified @PublishersAssoc I would say it completely depends on the role you are applying for! Simple and traditional tends to be best unless it's a design role. You can show off a bit of personality in your profile and relate them back to your USP (unique selling point) 🙂#WIPcv
