It is amazing the number of spelling errors on CVs you find.

Avoid text message speech

Never send them in a brown envelope, brown envelopes will be binned unopened because they are cheap, and if you are not prepared to pay for a white more expensive envelope, they are not prepared to even open the envelope

Also the same with postage, if it is not first class, it will be binned unopened.


Since they get loads of CV's coming in, they have to employ some sort of filter

Also, join your local chapter of the Masons, (Sorry ladies, this is a guy thing only), that might help Oops got cynical head on this morning

I also find that as well as the brown envelopes thing, use an A4 envelope or an envelope where you don't have to fold your CV more than once.
