CV Builder Tool
Not sure where to start when thinking about making your first CV. Then you’re in the right place!
‘My World of Work’ is a website that helps with all things careers in Scotland. It’s a fantastic website with lots of information on how to build a CV, how to assess your strengths and all the ins and outs of a job application process. It has a great CV Builder tool which will help you create your CV.
You will need to create an account (takes no time at all!) and it is worth it. Once you are signed in, go to CV in the menu and you’ll find the tool there.
A CV should contain the following information:
- Personal details, including contact information
- Skills
- Experience
- Education history
- Work history
- Qualifications
- Achievements
- Interests – what you enjoy doing in your own time
Have a think about each of these and have ready what information you can for when you log in to the CV Builder tool.
It might be useful to consider writing a personal statement (can be tailored for each job you apply for). See our blog here. A personal statement is also often needed when applying to college or university.
