CV Tips

Set out the perfect CV

A CV is one of the most important documents that you will write and so it needs to be spot on. While there’s no perfect formula, there are things you can do to improve your prospects of securing an interview.

As Zürich-based recruitment specialists who see countless documents every day, we’re no strangers to a good CV and hope the following guidelines will help you on your way to the perfect job.

DO

  • Write the CV in the same language as the job description, if you are multi-lingual, have one available in each of your languages.
  • Try to limit your CV to one page, unless you have an extensive work history and cannot fit everything in.
  • Set out your CV clearly and in a defined format – bullet points can help in formatting and keeping the word count down.
  • Start with your personal information, this should include your name, address, phone number, email, nationality / visa status. Although not compulsory, many people also add their date of birth, gender, marital status and a professional photo.
  • List your educational achievements in chronological order, along with dates, the institution and certifications achieved.
  • Include the languages you speak and qualify the level of knowledge you have for each language.
  • Check for spelling and grammatical errors with a fine-tooth comb. You would be surprised how easily these are spotted. Take particular care with elements like punctuation after bullet points.

Don't

  • Leave any unexplainable gaps – inconsistencies with dates will be spotted quickly by a potential employer.
  • Fabricate anything. These will show up when references are taken and your offer is likely to be retracted.
  • Don’t boast. A Swiss CV should be modest and reflect a level of humility
