Instructions for using the 1 page Word CV form

This document is designed to be filled in on your computer, and will restrict you to type only one page of information. It already has the headings for each section of your CV.

1. With your mouse, double click on the Name heading, this will highlight it. Now type your own name – which will automatically replace the heading.
2. Click once about 1cm to the right of the Address heading – this will position the cursor in the correct position for you to type your address. Keep your address to one line only.
3. Repeat point 3 for your email address and telephone number.
4. Click once immediately below the heading Personal Statement. Your cursor should now be in exactly the right position to start typing. When typing, only press the Return (Enter) key when you want to start a new paragraph.
5. Repeat point 5 for all the other headings in the CV.
6. When finished, choose Save As and change the filename to your own name. In future use this version to make updates/amendments to your CV.
7. Then choose Save As again. Leave your name as the filename, and now change the Save Type to a PDF. Use this file to send your job application.

NB: If you find some of the headings ‘disappear’ – it may be because you’ve typed more than a full page and they will reappear if you reduce the amount you’ve typed by editing it.
