You would be surprised at how many CVs our consultants come across that give no indication as to what they did on a daily basis at the previous jobs. You must be specific, what exactly were your duties? What were the key details of your job that your potential new employer will want to hear about? Projects Employees in the engineering industry will be well accustomed to working on projects. Employers are extremely keen to hear about your experiences. What projects did you work on? What were your responsibilities and what were your achievements? This is the perfect chance to talk yourself up! Structure of Your CV With regards to the layout of your CV, here is how we think you should set it out: Employment Experience This should go at the very top of your CV with your most recent job at the top. Include exact dates and justify any gaps in a positive light. Your employment experience should follow a career statement which consists of a brief paragraph outlining your skills and motivations for progress in your career. This section will obviously involve what you have written for your main duties and responsibilities. Education & Certifications Next you should list your academic qualifications as well as any relevant certifications you have achieved Languages As we work with clients and companies all over Europe listing your linguistic capabilities could push you to the top of the queue for a new job. For example, if you are looking to move to Belgium and you can speak French and Dutch this gives you a wide scope of roles to choose from.
