Few people have absolutely straightforward careers so some
CVs can be harder to write than others. Below we’ll
take a look at some of the more common problems you might
come across when putting your CV together – and then
show you how to handle them. When faced with situations
like getting your first job; returning to work after a career
break; and continuing in work as a mature employee, it may
initially seem difficult to express these things positively
on your CV – but it can be done! By highlighting key
parts of your CV, you can emphasise your strengths rather
than stressing your weaknesses.
