Tips:
You don’t need to write Curriculum Vitae (or CV) on top. It can be
derived from the document itself that it is a CV. If you still want to put
it – spell it correctly!
Address: there is no point to title it. Try to keep it as short as possible.
E-mail: Use a professional-looking email (e.g. using first and/or last name).
Make sure you include your mobile or telephone number since it is one
of the most convenient ways to contact you.
Note! Nationality / national insurance number / date and place of birth
/ gender / marital status are not necessary to determine your skills and
could lead an employer to discriminate.
