Killer CV template

Contractors Handbook

The contractors who secure the positions ahead of the other candidates are the ones who know best how to get a contract, and not necessarily the ones who are most qualified for the position.

The first hurdle in contract job search is to get yourself noticed by an agent who will then submit your CV to the client for consideration.

The quality of your CV will determine if you get chosen.

The CV template below uses all the techniques described in the CV Writing section on Contractor Calculator.

You've mentioned on your CV template to put date of birth. However, as a recruiter we recommended that this is not mentioned on your CV as this can unfortunately cause some employers to be discriminatory with regard to age.

[Ed: Leanne is right, if your age means you may be discriminated against then of course leave it off the CV. If however you think age is in your favour then leave it on the CV.]
