Number and Email.: Personal Details
Normally these would be your name, address, date of birth (although with
age discrimination laws now in force this isn't essential), telephone
number and email.
British CVs don't usually include a photograph unless you are an actor.
In European countries such as France, Belgium and Germany its common
for CVs to include a a passport-sized photograph in the top right-hand
corner whereas in the UK and the USA photographs are frowned upon as this
may contravene equal opportunity legislation - a photograph makes it easier
to reject a candidate on grounds of ethnicity, sex or age. If you do include a
photograph it should be a head and shoulders shot, you should be dressed
suitably and smiling: it's not for a passport!
Work experience
Try to relate the skills to the job. A finance job will involve numeracy,
analytical and problem solving skills so focus on these whereas for a
marketing role you would place a bit more more emphasis on persuading and
negotiating skills.
