CV Help please?


I am applying for Rep position. I have got a cover letter and CV, but unsure on what order to include information on it?
So far I have got:
Name
Address & Contact Info
Statement
Achievements
Education
Qualifications
Work Experience
Hobbies & Interests
References

Is there anymore catergories anyone might include for a rep position or would you consider changing the order?

Cheers,
Adam

I would say to possibly put your work experience above your education/qualifications (unless you are a recent graduate).

Here is an article about writing your CV:
http://jobs.guardian.co.uk/careers/49

Try and keep cv down to a couple of sides. As a HR professional I am not over keen on fancy statements and achievements - you may wish to consider an opening statement which just contains your keys skills. Combine education and qualifications. Don't go overboard with 'hobbies and interests' - I would include a section entitled 'Additional Information' and include anything you feel relevant to the post.

Don't mention anything to do with age or marital status - it is not relevant!

The categories are fine but I would add info re; are you a driving licence holder.
However one thing I always look for in CVs are details indicating personality traits e.g Hard working, results driven, team player,good communicator etc.
Your hobbies should also indicate a rounded personality e.g you are not a loner which may be indicated by interests solely in reading, model making,knitting etc. Some team events e.g darts /football team member etc should be included; this indicates social skills.
Hope I haven't gone on for too long; good luck

the order is fine,
All comes down to what you put in your statement. Employers will breeze through the rest of the information depending on the level of responsibility you apply for.
For a rep though, its the statement that needs attention.

some additional data like driving licence, ability to travel, languages, if you have a car, single or married, if you are committed to military service or civilian, and so
good luck and have a good job

Move your work experience in between statement and achievements. Driving licence? Include it in hobbies and interests.

Driving license if you have one. You are not obliged to put your date of birth on. Employers would rather you didnt as then they cannot be accused of being ageist. Good luck with the job

OK by me. You will still be invited for oral and written tests. Thereafter, you will discuss emoluments.

Move your work experience higher - it's of much more relevance. Apart from that, it looks OK to me...

Can you Drive ?

Do you have a Clean Licence ?

How many years N-C-B do you have ?

Good luck

ethnic origin
e mail ad
full driving licence
sttus..married/single?
age or dob
good luck x

I am looking for a rep in the UK, MIdlands or north. Contact admin@hbbody.co.uk if your in the UK
