Any CV tips? :)

[erin-x]

I finished college in June and have been filling out applications for jobs since then, so far unsuccessfully :(
The time has come as my savings are running out that I find myself applying for JSA. When I get my interview I need to provide them with a CV and was just wondering if anyone had any tips to make it extra special?
It's an Early Years Officer (Nursery Nurse) post that I am looking for if that helps :)

Any help would be greatly appreciated! xxx

Make your c.v. no longer than 2 pages in length if possible. What qualification do you have that makes you eligible for the Nursery Nurse role? Make sure you tell them about this, and the topics you studied in college which fit you for a role like this - your willingness now to put the theory into practice and to continue to develop your skills in this field. An enthusiasm to continue with workbased learning is appreciated by many employers. Did you get particularly good grades in anything? - if so, be sure to say so.

^ I have reported the above spammer (dghjtykty, ot boxtops!) who seems to have made around a dozen posts overnight.

Some other tips for a CV:

-Don't cram too much information on there- some white space makes it easier to read
- Use good quality, thicker paper so yours will 'stand out' when handled.
- Be prepared to tweak your CV for different jobs so you can focus on the relevant specific experiences/skills.
- Proof read it and get a friend to proof-read it
