24Commentary on Targeted CV for Environmental Related Job
This CV demonstrates how to pull together relevant information which would be
useful for an Environment related job. Key points to note are:
•
The CV fits two pages comfortably. There is still plenty of white space on the
page. Headings are clear and the use of bold does not jar the eye.
•
There is a lot of information to communicate in this CV but it is achieved by
paying careful attention to the font and font size. The font is Arial. Your
computer will default to Times New Roman and it is easy not to bother to
change the font. It is worthwhile remembering that using Arial font means
you can get away with a 10 point font size. With Times New Roman font a 10
point is too small for most readers to glance through comfortably.
•
The personal details at the top occupy only a few lines, thus saving space, but
are clearly located by the employer reading it.
•
The degree subject is explained by highlighting a few relevant modules. We
cannot see the dissertation topic but we can assume it is relevant to the area
of employment being pursued therefore it is worth including. An alternative
would be to highlight the skills developed on your course. (Tip: look at the
University prospectus for your course for a summary of the key skills you
should have developed.)
•
There is a section called “Relevant Experience” which takes precedence over
the section called “Other Work Experience”. By separating out your experience
in this way you are highlighting it for the employer. This is valuable if you
have had to balance your vacations between periods of time spent working for
cash with other times gaining career-related experience.. Remember there is
no rule in CV writing which says that voluntary work has to be included in a
separate section. It can be mixed up with paid work. Here you can see it pays
off to present experience in this way.
•
This student has given more space to his positions of responsibility than to his
interests, which he mentions only briefly. You will need to decide what is
appropriate to you. If you do not have positions of responsibility to include
then focus more on your interests.
