Hi, I'm sending through the information about curriculum vitae that you requested.

Your most important job-seeking tool is your curriculum vitae or CV. Your CV is your calling card into an organisation. If it doesn't grab the employer's attention, you will never get to meet them and sell yourself as the best person for the job.

When there is a large pool of unemployed or job-seekers, it comes down to survival of the fittest in the competition for the best jobs. Your CV displays your suitability for the job and your fit in the organisation.

You need to assemble the right personal information and documentation to prepare a CV. Generally, employers are interested in your most recent qualifications and professional experiences. You need to prioritise your qualifications and training into the most important and relevant, rather than into chronological order.

Your covering letter is the first impression you give to a potential employer. It can be used to target specific skills you have that meet areas of the job. You can use it to emphasise your personal fit with the organisation, your passion, and your enthusiasm. It illustrates your interest and suitability for the job. The quality of your covering letter may even determine whether or not your CV will be read.

Always customise your covering letter to the job you're applying for. Emphasise why you want to work for this particular employer or organisation in this particular position. Let them know why they need you!

Use formal language in the letter and ensure it uses the current business letter format. Try to keep to 1 or 2 pages. Don't forget to spell-check and proof read!

It's important not to underestimate the application form for a position. Some organisations place a lot of weight on their accurate completion. Allow yourself enough time to complete the form properly and completely.

Hope this helps. Cheers.
