How to write a successful Motor Trade CV
Your CV should be a crisp, concise reflection of you at your best. Depending on experience aim for 2 sheets of A4 -
we suggest 3 as a maximum. Leave a weekend free to devote to creating a really good CV. Do not leave it until the
last moment or try to re-hash the old one. If you create your own CV, get someone else to check your spelling and
grammar. If you are unable to create a good, professional CV, get an experienced person to do it for you. It is worth
paying for good presentation. Here are a few pointers:
-
Start with the most recent job first.
-
Keep it factual
-
Avoid narrative forms and use bullet points wherever possible
-
Show achievements separately for each position. Keep it positive, emphasise your strong points and skills: talk
about what you can do, not what you can't!
What do employers want to know in the Motor Trade?
-
DMS system experience gained at each job location
-

If known, Turnover figure and Volumes

Finally, don't hide jobs. Most employers make a job offer provisional upon the accuracy of your CV.
