By far the best agency I’ve ever dealt with, if you ever find yourself in need of a new job I cannot recommend The Staff Agency enough. Really friendly staff that actually care about getting you into work. Brilliant communication and make you feel valued.

Alex Westby Top TipsA CV does not have to be a bland list of professional successes. If you enjoy doing magic tricks, running marathons or like cooking Chinese food in your spare time, get those interests across to show that you have a life outside work. Unusual hobbies can also raise your application above the herd but do not claim to like things that you have never tried just to sound impressive. If you get caught out, you will be the first person out of the door.
Be truthful and factual. Making up qualifications and previous jobs is a dangerous route to take. If your future employer checks your references and catches you out in a lie, you could lose your job or even face prosecution. But do not just treat your CV as a list of responsibilities – use it to spell out your achievements.
Try not to monopolise the meeting – let your interviewer talk. If they do not tell you, find out what are the key parts of the candidate specification so you can show how you meet them.
A CV is essentially a selling tool, so make active references to your work. Explaining what you have enjoyed about your job gives everything a sense of ownership and shows that you are passionate about what you have done. But be careful not to wander from the point. Ensure your CV provides information that relates to the role you are applying for.
