While I’m at it let me share some tips I got from a recruiter which has helped me and many people I know.
1. Firstly recognise that your CV is ranked against others (most times electronically) so play the game well (the keyword game).
2. E.g instead of saying things like ‘assisted customers with queries’ mention the keyword ‘customer service’ and back it up with evidence. ‘Increased our customer membership by x% by providing excellent customer service’.
3. Your recruiter does not have time so do NOT waffle in your personal statement. It should tell them your background/experience, main competencies (strength/skill) and what you are looking for in about 5 lines.
4. This is 2018 so please have a technical skills section in your CV. The recruiter can not assume you know how to use Microsoft Office.
5. When describing your roles briefly outline your responsibilities and place the main focus on what YOU achieved/brought to the company instead of what they made you do. Hope this makes sense?
6. Side comment: PLEASE REMOVE YOUR ADDRESS FROM YOUR CV! Only companies that want to hire you need that level of info. Exceptions: application forms that ask for it 


7. This is for students especially: if it was not a job (paid or unpaid) do not put it under work experience. I have reviewed CVs full of insight days/workshops as work experience. Stick it under achievements or any other suitable section.
8. Be consistent with your formatting. Headers same font, alignment and etc. Dates consistent don’t use Dec 2016 - Dec 2017 for one job then January 2017 or 01/01/17 for another (especially if you put ‘pay attention to detail’ in your CV lol).
Also don’t underestimate the power of LinkedIn. Use the search bar to type in the role you want, then click on content so you can see statuses from recruiters that only require you to send a CV to apply for a job.
