Commentary
The traditionally presented CV has a clear and logical order. Many people feel
comfortable creating this format as it adheres to the key areas of information
usually required in making a job application.
It is important to avoid making this style of CV into a bare list or inventory of
what you did and when. As our introductory notes say on the opening page of
this leaflet, you need to give a strong impression of what you got from your
experiences in terms of achievements, skills and knowledge acquired, and a
sense of how far your involvement went.
The main drawbacks of this style of CV are that it doesn’t really allow you to
target your experiences towards the kind of job you are trying to get. If you
wish to do this, then you may want to consider either a skills based CV (see
next example) or a targeted CV (see further examples on our website:
