Qualifications, Skills and CV

Include, in chronological order, work-related qualifications not covered under ‘Education’. List dates, grades, and the awarding body.

Also include work-related courses which show specific knowledge, for instance covering health and safety, diversity issues or IT updates.

Explain what you can do, rather than what you’ve done. Remember you’ll have to back up your claims...

If you’re applying for jobs outside your current field, include transferable skills such as communication, teamwork, leadership, numeracy, and so on. If you’re in a fast-moving field such as IT, make clear that your skills are up to date.

Use bullet points with active verbs. For instance: ‘team leadership, delivering high profile projects to budget and deadline’.

Don’t forget to upload any documents you need to back up your descriptions.
