Here are some top CV tips from the Career Advice Hub, where human resources experts shared advice with the visitors to the Agri Careers Fair organised by the Irish Farmers Journal and open eir:

  • A CV is a document that sells you and your skills to an employer - it should be well presented, readable and concise.
  • Your CV should include personal details, professional profile, key skills, career history, education, training and interests.
  • Your CV should be two to three pages max. Save some achievements for your interview!
  • The language of your CV should be professional but no need to use overly formal language. Tailor your CV to suit the role's requirements.
  • Tips for cover letter: state the role you're applying for, say why you're interested in the role and the company.
