UK CV Checklist: Key Differences

  • Length: Keep it to 2 pages maximum. Be concise.
  • No Personal Info: Do NOT include a photo, date of birth, marital status, or parents' names. This is standard UK practice to prevent discrimination.
  • Personal Statement: Start with a short "Professional Summary" (3-4 lines) tailored to the specific job you're applying for.
  • Focus on Achievements: Instead of just listing duties, use bullet points starting with action verbs (e.g., "Managed," "Developed," "Increased") and quantify your results (e.g., "...increasing sales by 15%").
  • Cover Letter is Crucial: Always submit a tailored cover letter unless the application explicitly says not to.

Common UK Interview Questions

"Tell me about yourself."

This is your 90-second professional story. Structure it as: 1. Present: What's your current role and a big achievement? 2. Past: How did you get here? 3. Future: Why are you excited about *this* specific role?

"Why do you want to work for this company?"

Research the company! Mention their specific projects, values, or recent news that genuinely interests you and connect it to your own career goals.
