CV Example

The CV example (below) was produced by Bradley CVs and is an example of how our CV writing service sets out a CV.

If you want to win job interviews, then a professional CV can make a real difference, as it will show an employer what you have to offer them. We use a straightforward layout that makes it extremely easy and quick for an employer to find the information they need.

You typically have just 30 seconds to grab an employer's attention. So if they can't find what they want quickly, they'll just move on to the next CV. Some people over complicate their CV's layout, which makes it harder for an employer to find what they want - we recommend that you keep it simple.

As well as a great layout, you also need to word your CV in a way that sells your unique skills, experience and achievements to an employer, so that they want to invite you to an interview. When a CV writer from Bradley CVs is writing a CV they will always take into account what an employer expects to see in a CV.

If you have to print out your CV, make sure that you use premium quality paper and a good printer. It's best to use a paper colour that photocopies easily, so any shade of white would be OK.

You are welcome to print out our CV example (below) for our own personal use, but please note that we retain the copyright and you can't copy or reproduce this CV example (in any format).

Warning: The layout below may not be appropriate for your particular circumstances. When Bradley CVs produces a CV for you, we take account of how you are going to use it when we design your CV. You can also print or view this CV example without borders.
