Writing a top quality Trades & Labour CV:

  1. Write a short clear summary about yourself at the start – be honest and positive and focus on the key words that highlight your key strengths
  2. Ensure your layout and font is clear and concise – always double check all grammar and layout is clear and easy to read for the recruiter. Complex, hard to read CV’s won’t get you to the top of the pile. Also ensure your work history is systematic and written in order from your most recent role at the top.
  3. Highlight your key abilities and experience in the first couple of pages – it is important to get all of your core key skillset and abilities mentioned as early on in your CV to keep the recruiter engaged and realise you are the right person for the job!
