NAME

Write your contact details across the page (saving space)

Include your landline, mobile and email address.

OBJECTIVE

Briefly state exactly what it is you want – what post are you applying for. Don’t waffle.

PERSONAL PROFILE

This is the key element of your CV. The rest of your CV content will be based on this

section. Use words which reflect skills and experiences which match the opportunity you are

applying for but keep it short.

EDUCATION

Write in reverse chronological order, the institutions where you studied, when you studied

and outcomes. If you are applying for your first post after graduating, then this section can

highlight aspects of your PhD which are relevant to the post you are applying for. Include an

abstract of your PhD. You may choose to write a more detailed synopsis here or you could

put this as an Addendum (if relevant to your application). See the Guidelines for more

information.

EMPLOYMENT

Write in reverse chronological order, job title, organisation and dates (only month and year

necessary). Include jobs you did as a student only if they are relevant to your application.

Do not write a job description unless the employment is directly relevant to the post you are

applying for.

PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIPS

List any memberships you may have relevant to your research or other life activities.

SKILLS

Use this section to write about your computational skills, administrative skills, team-working

skills, time-management, communication skills and project management skills giving some

evidence of how you acquired them. What IT skills do you have? Rather than write a long

list, use sub-headings: you may want to include some skills in your Addendum if you have

one.

FURTHER INFORMATION

Perhaps you held a position of responsibility, play/played a sport, have volunteering

experience, or were an active member of a university club? Do you speak any languages,

have a driving licence, play an instrument, or hold a non-academic qualification? If so,

include them here.
