DESIGN
How should I design the layout of my CV?
There are many ways to design a CV. This section gives an example

Always type your CV.
Print your CV on good quality white paper. The paper size should be A4(this is 21.0 cm wide and 29.7cm tall).
Usually you should not attach a photograph.
Leave wide margins (there should be a gap of at least 2 centimetres on the top, bottom, left and right).
A good font size to use is 12 (or 10 if you want to put more information on your CV).
The document should use only one font style, for example Times New Roman.
Use bold (Bold) or italics (Italics) to emphasiseimportant words.
Only underline section titles (or do not underline any words).
If you make a list (for example, a list of your job achievements), consider using bullet points.
Try to keep the CV on one side of paper, or use two sides if you have a lot of relevant work experience or qualifications.
Keep your sentences short and simple.
A typical section order is:
- Name
- Address
-...
