How to write a CV?

[Arran Turner]

How would you structure a climbers CV?

 

Would I include gsce's etc or just everything relivant to tree surgery?

Im guessing the exact same way as any CVs?

[sloth]

I would include all education, tree related and other. Also any work, no matter what/when, plus references. Any hobbies, interests etc and brief description about yourself. I wouldn't stress to much about that, all cv's say hard working and honest! Try to give a sense of your personality and character through the things you do and have done, sell yourself as a person, not just human with relevant tickets. Good luck!

I think you can download a CV template from the Buisiness Link websites Arran.

How much to include and how far back to go does rather depend what you're applying for..... I haven't included GSCE's on my CV for years, probably since the first couple of interviews, but still being quite young and not having had the chance to gain much more experience and qualification then I would go ahead and include it.

Don't forget to include extra-curricular stuff you do as well. Volunteering is particularly good to show, even if it's just unpaid work experience, it shows enthusiasm and a willingness to work hard and learn. Just don't come across as the kind of warrior who will drop their job / course in an instant to go live in a tent in the rain forest in a bid to save the lesser spotted fuit womble of Patagonia....!

I would include gsce as you are quite young.

CV's should be kept simple. short and sweet.

Name/address/contact details (d.o.b isn't necessary)

Education History

Work History

Other relevant history (volunteering, prince of edinborough etc)

 

Then a covering letter, just a little bit about yourself, why you enjoy the industry, your interests out of work, bigging yourself up basically - telling them that you are the one for the job, not the others!
