David Smith is a Professional CV writer with over 10 years experience of writing CV's for people
with sought after technical skills.

He became involved in writing CV's when he was employed by the British Governments employment service
"Jobcentre Plus" in Greater Manchester.
 Prior to that he gained a good grounding in office administration and machining/engineering
so he is ideally placed to both understand the oil and gas industry sector and present your experience in
an accurate and eyecatching CV.
He has subsequently been writing CV's as the mainstay of his career under the Company Structure of
Archway 2007.
He feels strongly that good layout is essential to a strong CV. It needs to be easily read and digested
by the recruiters or employers you present it to.
Ideally your CV should between 2 or 3 A4 pages with accurate content and spelling.
For people in the Offshore or Oil & Gas Sector it can be usefull to add an "appendix" or "project summary"
as an addition to your CV, for example including a list of the rigs you've worked on, the wells you've
drilled, the environmets and locations that has occured in. This is often the case
for experienced Engineers or Consultants who've had a lot of Oil & Gas experience.
Some CV writers suggest re drafting CV's for each job they apply for, however David is more of a mind
to have an ancillary or secondary CV prepared in advance for roles other than your mainstay in advance of
jobs opening that you may be interested in.
When asked about adding a passport photo David was negative. A photo or avatar on your CV can be open to
discrimination, this is especially important when considering security jobs or CV's for the secutiry sector
(another job sector that David specialises in).
According to David you should start your CV with your name and have "profile" beneath, followed
by your qualifications. However you need to be careful to avoid taking up space with outdated or
irrelevant qualifications.
David generally writes CVs in font size 12 and uses Times New Roman but it can be flexible.
Most CV's are submitted electronically these days. They can be submitted as PDFs or Word documents
depending on the Employer's specification. The advantage of a Resume in PDF format is that it
cannot be altered by anyone.
When writing in word avoid preparing your Curriculum Vitae with different text boxes and elaborate layout
and formatting, go for simple formatting.
Hobbies personal interests should be added at the bottom of the CV and you should always try to add
referee contact details as well.
