What should be included in the one-page summary CV?

• Personal Details – Similar to The Targeted CV, Functional CV, and Combined CV you should include relevant personal details including: Your Full Name, Contact Address, E-mail address, Landline Telephone Number, Mobile Phone Number.

• Work Experience – Start with your most recent job first and just summarise your responsibilities. If you do not have any work experience focus on skills and experiences you can bring to the job.

• Key Skills - Next you should have a heading called Key Skills and bullet point the skills and attributes you have that most closely match the job description or vacancy you are applying for.

• Education and Qualifications - Educational history and professional qualifications should follow under this title. Keep this brief and do not add too much detail but include all relevant educational qualifications and training courses you have attended.

• Interests – If you have space, include relevant interests, giving sufficient detail to provide evidence of relevant skills for the job.

• References – Write “references available on request” (you should have the names of two relevant contacts that can be used as referees, usually one work and one personal).

If you have too much information to put on a One Page Summary why not use a Chronological, Functional or Combined CV format?
