CV help

[Amylou]

I want to send my CV out to various places. I have a recent copy when i was trying to look for work experience last summer.
One thing though i have done 2 years of a Vet Nursing degree and swapped to Animal Biology at start of 3rd year. I want to say i have done both but it might look wierd and confusing to explain all of that. Technically i will get a degree in animal biology. But my VN modules and time in work experience is valuable.
Should i do 2 CVs and add VN stuff when the job i want to send it to is more to do with that sort of thing?
Or should i only put i have done a animal biology degree then add at the bottom i have done 2 years of VNing...

You need to tailor your cv to the job you are applying for. Make yourself a basic one to work from so that you have dates etc to hand. You need to mention experienced gained in a way that would be appropriate for a job and that could well vary slightly from post to post. I'd send you an example but it's on a back up disc in my backpack and wiped from pc - sorry. Hope this helps a bit.

AND

Good Luck!!

Having read hundeds and hundreds of CVs in my life ................
and helped lots of others to write them ................
(but not had to do my own for eons!!!)

Agree ++++++++++++++++ with above.

Adapt for each job

Make the information that makes you special and/or different leap off the page.

Layout is v important.

Good English and NO TYPOS IS ESSENTIAL.

Be brief and to the point.

Get at least two poeple to read it and comment critically.
PM me if you want
