Curriculum Vitae


Important things to remember when writing and sending your CV:

  1. Answer the advert
  2. You cannot copy your CV and send it to different companies - every CV needs to be addressed to a specific company and position
  3. Make sure you send the correct documents; if they ask for a short CV, use the format below, if a detailed CV is required, you need to add your extramural activities, etc.
