TOP TIPS

• DON'T Use jargon or acronyms only your current employer would understand
• DON'T 'copy and paste' from standard job specs, rewrite to show your contribution.
• DO Start with your most recent role and work backwards.
• DO be honest by addressing employment gaps (if any), with just a simple and brief explanation like career break, study, or voluntary work.
• DO Use bullet points, not paragraphs - aim for 4 to 6 concise bullet points per role.
• DO Start each point with a strong action verb (led, implemented, delivered, assessed).
• DO show how you made a difference, focus on achievements, not just duties, using measurable results where possible e.g. delivered weekly psychoeducation groups for up to 12 clients, achieving 90% positive feedback scores.
