To improve the content, you could have another look at your education and work history. Is there anything you haven’t included or that could be rephrased to showcase your skills? For example, any voluntary work or school projects, things you’ve learned apart from exams passed? If it looks a bit thin still, it’s a good idea to start some new study while you’re job-hunting – IT skills, a foreign language etc – then you can add that on the CV too.

For the layout and structure, check that you’ve listed your most recent job or relevant work experience first. Make sure your best qualifications are clearly listed, and use bullet points rather than paragraphs. Most of your CV will be in the form of a list, apart from your personal profile which should still .be short and punchy.

Finally, do check your CV for errors or get someone else to do it. You can find some more tips here.
