The Header CVs should always start with your name and your contact information centered at the top. To do this, first start by typing the information into the word document. Make sure this information is in plain text with no graphics or art that may be unreadable on other peoples machines. If your potential employer cannot see your name or contact information it is likely your CV will go straight into the bin so this is very important Once you have the header created you must double and triple check it for mistakes as errors throughout the whole CV are a problem but errors in your phone number or email address may mean you don't get contacted about your potential interview. You can then play around with the size and font but keep it pretty straightforward. The Main Text Beneath the header you have to start thingking about all the different categories your CV consists of such as education, work experience, skills etc. The title of each section can be formatted using the dropdown menu and you want the headers to stand out so they are separated from each other. After each sub header you can use bullet points to insert all the relevant information. Once you move on from one section to another, you want to make sure to add a page break. This allows each header to remain separate from each other and makes it easier for the reader to follow. Again, try to avoid any errors by checking everything you have written is correct. How to Create the Aesthetic You want to ensure your CV is interesting to read, and can also be viewed properly and clearly. Your potential employer should be able to scan through it quickly taking out relevant snippets of information as they do. Ensure you use a standard text such as Times New Roman for the body of your text. Avoid using italicized or bolded letter in the body of the text, as this has been known to be tiresome on the eyes. You can make your headers bold and fancy anyway you like, but make sure they all follow the same format to blend together. Your Microsoft CV Template is an important step in your job search.
