   REPRESENTING YOURSELF - C.V. & Interview Tips
YOUR CURRICULUM VITAE
Your C.V. is the first impression an employer will get of you and first impressions get you the job! Here are some of the ways in which we have found you can improve your chances of being called to an interview  through great CV presentation: * Your CV must be easy to read, concise, giving factual information on your history of experience and
qualifications in reverse chronological order.
* Keep it to 2 pages. A prospective employer will not read a long CV.
Besides, you need to keep something to discuss at the Interview.
* Include contact details of 3 Referees (only include those that will give a positive reference.)
It is advisable to have your portfolio of work and your CV prepared and ready at all times in the event of a quick call to interview. This can prevent candidates becoming stressed before the interview has started, as rushing to get these documents ready can put pressure on people. THE INTERVIEW
This is your time to shine! Being well prepared is the key to success. First impressions are made within 30 seconds; you need show yourself in the best possible manner.
Be Prepared
* Prior to interview, research the company to which you are applying thoroughly, so you completely understand them
and their market.
Interviewers have limited information about you on which to base their final decision, so how you look, how you behave,
your attitude and your delivery of your knowledge will influence your success rate and will help them make their
final decision in your favor.
Be Punctual
* Arrive 15 minutes early to allow you time to relax and familiarise yourself with the environment. Announce yourself to
Reception, giving your name, who you are being interviewed by and your appointment time. You may be asked to
complete an application form, so complete it in clear handwriting, correctly and in full, checking it before handing it back.
Be Confident
* Greet your interviewer with a smile and a firm handshake. Use his/her surname only unless otherwise instructed.
Sit well back in the chair which will create a more relaxed atmosphere. Make eye contact with the interviewer, smile,
nod to express agreement and enthusiasm and use the tone of your voice in a positive manner.
