CV Best Practice

Alium guidelines

Follow our guidance to ensure your CV gives us - and potential clients - the information needed to find the right assignments for you.

• Write a chronological CV - start with your most recent role and work backwards
• Keep the format simple - avoid overly fussy layouts, tables or columns. Present your CV in a simple Word format so that it can be easily read
• Keep it short - do not send a CV that is longer than 4-5 pages. Clients will simply not have the time to spend reading through overly lengthy CVs
• Include your contact details - make sure you include at least your mobile number, home telephone and an email address.
• Include a profile statement - distil in a short paragraph your core skills and experience. It is a key marketing tool and the first statement a client will read about you.
• Outline your previous roles - detail your achievements, key accomplishments and focus on tangible results.
• Include details about your previous employers - be clear about what the business does, whether you worked for the Group or a Division and the company’s turnover.
• Languages - only indicate where you are fluent or can converse in a language for business purposes.
• Summarise education and qualifications - list only those that are relevant to employers today, including degrees, business or professional qualifications.
