When it comes to applying for a new job, your CV is the ticket to secure an interview and hopefully, a job. Read the following tips to help you get started in creating a successful CV.

Get the basics right-These include: personal and contact information; education and qualifications; work history or experience; relevant skills to the job in question; your own interests, achievements or hobbies; and some references.

Presentation is key-A successful CV is always carefully and clearly presented, and printed on clean, white paper. The design should always be well-structured and CVs should never be wrinkled or folded. Stick to no more than two pages of A4 paper. A good CV is clear and brief.

Tailor your CV-When you’ve made sure what the job you are applying for involves, create a CV specifically for that job. Any CV you send to a potential employer should be adjusted to that particular job. Don’t be lazy and hope that a general CV will work because it won’t. Employers want to know why you would be a good choice to fill the specific job on offer.

Make the most your skills-Under the skills section of your CV mention key skills that can help you to stand out from the crowd. These could include; communication skills; organizational skills; computer skills; team working and problem solving. Emphasize the things that show off skills you’ve gained and employers look for.

Include references- References should be from someone who has employed you in the past and can confirm your skills and experience. They can also be from a teacher or a principal from your school. Try to include two if you can.

The pupils of Grangetown High have been busy getting to know their newest and tallest classmate — a 7-meter-tall giraffe outside their school.

The giraffe is a huge sculpture (雕像) made by a local artist. The school's headmaster noticed the sculpture in the artist's garden as he drove past one day, and thought it would be perfect for his school. “I knew everyone would love it,” he said, “because our basketball team is known as the Grangetown Giraffes, and they wear giraffes on their shirts. So I asked them to write a letter to the artist, asking how much it would cost to buy the giraffe. He was very kind and got it ready to deliver (递送) in six weeks — all for nothing! It was expected to arrive one Sunday morning, so that the pupils would see it when they got to school on Monday — at that time they had no idea that we were getting it.”

The artist, Tom Bennett, was a university professor (教授) of chemistry before he left that job in 2006 and only took up metalwork a couple of years ago. “I've always drawn pictures,” he said. “I can even remember doing it on my first day at school — I drew a horse. I wanted it to be the best horse picture ever, but I don't think I succeeded.” Tom's first metalwork was a bicycle for two that he and his wife could go cycling on together. “It was the most uncomfortable bike ever created,” he said, “so I gave up making bicycles and went into sculpture instead.”

Meanwhile the pupils at Grangetown High are very happy with their new classmate. “We're going to hold a competition to give it a proper name,” said one girl. “Everyone likes the expression on its face, so perhaps that will give us some ideas.”
