Writing a good CV when you're applying for food jobs

If you've been applying for endless food jobs and you have not had any feedback from any of them, then it's time to give your CV a makeover.

Remember, your CV is designed to sell you as an employee and it needs to make a good impression. The first thing to consider is whether it looks good. For example, is it typed? Is it clear and simple to read? Has it got all the relevant information on it? Are there any spelling or grammatical errors?

These things are the first aspects that a potential employer will look at, so they need to be right. Some employers may even completely disregard your CV if it contains errors or it looks like it's an effort to read.

The next thing to remember is that you need to tailor your CV to each specific job that you are applying for. Don't simply type out a CV and send the same one off for each food job.

The job description will tell you what the employer is looking for. So it is your task to ensure that you answer all these criteria in your CV and ensure that everything on there is relevant. Only include information which demonstrates that you are suitable for the food job and take anything out which doesn't demonstrate your strengths for that particular food job.

Give your CV a makeover and soon the phone may be ringing off the hook with people offering you your dream food jobs.
