Typing up a CV (analytical chemist)

[seamoro]

Hey guys,
I am about to start to write up my CV again after completing my masters previously i had worked for 5-6 years. Just wondering can you post or send me (seamoro@yahoo.com) your CV so that i can i can have an idea of how to structure it. How long should the CV be?...2-3 pages?

Try to keep it to two pages. If you are going through agencies, they will often reformat it and stick their own header on as well, so it's best to leave a little bit of wriggle room.

Most recruiters will scan fairly quickly and bin many CV's without really reading them, so it may be useful to bullet point techniques so they quickly see that you have the skills they are looking for.

I've sent an adapted version of my CV which has just got me a new job (starting Monday!).

Good luck
Michael
