• 1. Length & Structure
• O Reduce CV to a maximum of 2–3 pages (currently 6 pages is far too long).
• O Focus on the most recent 10–15 years of relevant experience and summarise older roles in one short section.
• O Avoid repeating the same job description for similar roles — merge or condense them.
• 2. Personal Profile / Summary
• O Rewrite the opening section to be a short professional summary (4–5 lines).
• O Remove phrases like “LOOKING FOR A JOB!” and “REFERENCES!” — they are not professional.
• O Emphasise key strengths, years of experience, and relevant skills.
• 3. Contact & Personal Details
• O Keep only: name, phone, email, location (city only, not full postcode).
• O Remove unnecessary details (driver’s licence, eligibility to work, industry, etc.) unless directly required for the role.
• 4. Work Experience
• O Keep roles relevant to healthcare and support work; summarise or remove unrelated jobs (e.g., warehouse operative, domestic cleaner) unless they add transferable skills.
• O For each role, avoid copying the same long list of duties. Instead, highlight achievements, responsibilities, and impact (e.g., “Supported up to 10 clients daily with personal care and medication management, ensuring dignity and independence”).
• O Group short-term jobs with the same responsibilities under one heading, e.g., “Healthcare Assistant (various agencies, 2020–2024)”.
• 5. Education
• O Only include the highest and most relevant qualifications (e.g., Business & Management at Bath Spa University).
• O Remove old primary and secondary school details (not necessary at this stage).
• 6. Skills Section
• O Expand to include both technical and soft skills (e.g., Care planning, Medication administration, Safeguarding, Communication, Empathy, Teamwork).
• O Present skills in a clear bullet-point list, not as single words.
• 7. Language Section
• O Keep “Romanian, Italian, English – Fluent” but place it at the end of the CV in a clean bullet list.
• 8. Professional Tone & Formatting
• O Use consistent formatting (bullet points, alignment, spacing).
• O Remove unnecessary capitalisation (e.g., C.V.).
• O Keep font professional (Arial/Calibri, size 10–11).
• O Ensure no spelling/grammar mistakes (e.g., “white personal care” should be “with personal care”).
• 9. References
• O Remove “REFERENCES!” from the CV. Simply state “References available upon request” at the end.
• 10. Tailoring
• Adapt the CV to each application — highlight relevant experience for support worker roles and keep it concise.
