When you are applying for a job one of the first requirements will be to fill in an application form and possibly submit a CV so it is important that your CV is up to date and relevant to the post you are applying for.

Redoing a CV need not take an age if it is done regularly and certainly after any new training is undertaken or any new experience is gained. Remember to tailor the CV to the role you are applying for it may even be worth having slightly different copies depending on the jobs you are applying for. It is however always important to be truthful in a CV as employers could check your qualifications and training record with previous employers.

Another way to boost your chances of getting a job is to send your current CV to potential employers with a covering letter stating that you would be interested to hear of any vacancies in their company. This is a good way to get yourself known to business owners and may result in them keeping your details on file. Sending a CV to recruitment firms is another effective way to promote yourself and increase the likelihood of getting employment.
