Here at Fastrack, we endeavour to do everything we can to help people looking for work. Here is a few pointers on CV writing and interview techniques. We hope you find them useful and wish you the very best of luck in you job search.

CV Writing

Keep it simple
• You may wish to make a couple of different versions to use for different jobs you are applying    for, whilst making sure all information is accurate and can be qualified.

Make it easy to read
• When a company has a number of CVs to look through, many people will not always take the    time to read thoroughly. Ensure key points and skills are kept to the first page.

Always keep the order universal
• If you use a certain format for a section of your CV, make sure you carry this theme all the way    through.

Ensure your contact details are easy to find
• Obvious we know, but it always helps if a company can find your number to call you!

Always be prepared
• Make sure you read the job spec fully and understand exactly what it is you are applying for.

Find out as much as you can about the company
• The internet is the most obvious source. Find out what products or services they offer and how    they work.

Keep your answers to the point
• It is easy to try and fill silent gaps with general chat, but this is not always needed.

Prepare questions and possible answers
• If there is anything about the job or company you are unsure of, just ask (within reason!). At    the same time, before an interview, there may be some obvious questions you think you will be    asked, so take the time to prepare some suitable and direct answers.

Be aware of dress code
• Dress comfortably, yet appropriately, for the position and company.

Always be honest with yourself and the company
• If you do not show your true personality in an interview, you not be happy in the job.
