FAQ
Are the people in these guides real?
No. The names, employers and figures in the worked examples are fictional. Use the steps and the checklist, then replace every line with work you can explain.
Which guide should I read?
Read the role closest to the job advert. Each guide walks through the page setup, the personal statement, the bullets and a finished example.
Does a UK CV need a photo?
No. Leave off a photo, a date of birth and a marital status. Name the role, use British spelling, and put the latest work first.
