CV Makeover University of Manchester Careers Blog Want some quick tips to make the format of your CV look eye-catching and contemporary? Mildred Talabi writes some good stuff about careers, and shes put together a short screencast, showing you how to take a very common basic CV and give it a more modern feel. CVs have fashions, and its always a good idea to keep up to date with what recruiters are expecting to see today, rather than what your teacher told you at school. (Dont laugh many students seem to start with their school CV and just add a line  about their degree and some even forget to add that!) The screencast specifically shows a more modern format, and doesnt try to address the content. Dont feel you have to follow it rigorously (there arent any fixed rules with CVs) but it could give you ideas for giving your own CV a spring-clean think its about time I had another look at my own example postgrad CVs! The video is about 15 mins long (but you can skip the first couple of minutes if you dont want the ad for Mildreds CV services and book). Ive always got my critical hat on when I see careers advice on the web, but I do like to read Mildreds advice, even if I dont always agree with it (though  I normally do).
