Great! But then comes the not-so-great part\u2026 writing your CV.\r\n\r\nThe key to a successful job search is a flawless, well-written and highly targeted charity CV. After all, it\u2019s your first chance to grab the recruiter\u2019s attention and secure an interview.\r\n\r\nSo, without further delay, let us share our top tips for\u00a0writing the perfect\u00a0charity CV.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"How to lay out your charity CV","content":"<h2>How to lay out your charity CV<\/h2>\r\nThere\u2019s no one right way to lay out your CV. The type of CV you decide on should reflect the job you\u2019re applying for and the experience you have.\r\n\r\nThe most common style is the chronological CV, where you put your experience in chronological order, starting with the most recent. But you can also create a skills-based CV where you lead with your key skills and put a description under each skill detailing the experience you have to prove it.\r\n\r\nJust as there\u2019s no set style for the perfect charity CV, there\u2019s also no set structure. You can put the sections in whichever order you prefer, but keep in mind that you want the key information to be what the recruiter reads first.\r\n\r\nHere\u2019s a list of the key sections to include in your CV:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Contact details.<\/strong> Just your name, email and\/or phone number will do.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Personal profile.<\/strong> This is a short section (1-3 sentences) summarising your industry skills, knowledge and experience.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Previous experience.<\/strong> You can include both paid and voluntary roles here or keep them separate if you prefer. Include the name of the organisation, date of when you started (and when you left if you\u2019d like) and what you did.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Education and qualifications. <\/strong>Here you can also detail any relevant training you\u2019ve completed.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"single_image","menu_title":"","image":8419,"image_link":"","image_link_new_tab":false},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"Keep it clear and concise","content":"<h2>Keep it clear and concise<\/h2>\r\nYour CV should be no longer than two A4 pages. Remember the person reading it is probably already in the middle of a very busy day, so cut down where you can and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/careeradvice\/ultimate-charity-cover-letter-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">use your\u00a0cover letter<\/a>\u00a0to express your motivation to work for the charity in question.\r\n\r\nIf you use an unclear layout or font, big blocks of text and little-to-no subheadings, the recruiter is going to quickly lose patience. Fancy designs can catch the eye, but you don\u2019t want them to distract from what you\u2019re actually trying to say. And make sure you leave white space to distinguish between sections. Without it, it won\u2019t be easy for readers to find the information they\u2019re looking for.\r\n\r\nUse a professional, clear font such as Arial or Calibri in a size 10 or 12 and make sure to bold your headings. If there are any particularly impressive achievements or skills that you want employer\u2019s eyes to be drawn to, use bold for them as well\u2015but don\u2019t go overboard.\r\n\r\nIt\u2019s worth noting that you can be professional without being stiff and corporate. Depending on the nature of the work you\u2019ll be doing, it\u2019s okay to use slightly less formal language (but make sure you don\u2019t lapse on structure and style).\r\n\r\n&nbsp;"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"Do your research","content":"<h2>Do your research<\/h2>\r\nIt can be extremely tempting, but don\u2019t fire out the same CV to multiple charities. If you aren\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/careeradvice\/tailor-your-cv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tailoring your CV<\/a> to the specific company and role, it tells them that you\u2019re not that interested in their position\u2015instead, you simply want any job you can get. This definitely won\u2019t leave a positive impression on employers. It\u2019s vital that you tailor every CV you submit to the specific industry, company and role you\u2019re applying for.\r\n\r\nBefore you even start writing your charity CV, commit to carrying out some thorough research on the company and reviewing the job description. Your overall aim should be to match the candidate specification and prove that you\u2019d make the perfect match for the organisation. If you can mention a campaign they\u2019ve done recently then even better\u2015your enthusiasm will shine through!\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-10041 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/careeradvice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/unusual-jobs-charity-sector-storyteller-300x193.png\" alt=\"mistakes on cv\" width=\"696\" height=\"448\" \/>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"Highlight your skills and experience","content":"<h2>Highlight your skills and experience<\/h2>\r\nKeywords can make or break your charity CV. If you don\u2019t use them at all, the recruiter might find it harder to see why you\u2019re a good match for the role\u2015especially if your CV is being reviewed by an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) in the first instance.\r\n\r\nHowever, remember that the content needs to read well, so don\u2019t shove words in for the sake of it. Instead, read through the job description and highlight any of the desired skills or qualities you possess. Use these carefully throughout your application to get the balance just right. If you match the role, this should come across quite naturally in your CV.\r\n\r\nIf you don\u2019t have direct experience that matches the role, don\u2019t despair! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/careeradvice\/transferable-skills-you-didnt-know-you-had\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Transferable skills are just as important<\/a> to highlight on your charity CV. Maybe you worked in hospitality while you were studying. Some of the skills you gained there might make you a good candidate for a fundraising role. Just be careful about what you do and don\u2019t include, because it\u2019s the first impression a recruiter will have of you.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"Voluntary work matters","content":"<h2>Voluntary work matters<\/h2>\r\nVolunteering experience demonstrates that you\u2019re passionate, committed, and genuinely care about something enough to give up your own free time to help out. If you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/careeradvice\/volunteering-while-studying\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">volunteered while studying<\/a> or working, even better\u2015this shows you\u2019re extremely organised. Charities want to see these qualities from you, so don\u2019t stick your voluntary work at the bottom of your CV in a\u00a0tiny font\u2015treat it as you would a job by including dates and what you achieved while there.\r\n\r\nIf you volunteered with the charity you\u2019re applying to, then big it up even more! Voluntary work is always worthwhile and could even be the foot in the door that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/careeradvice\/volunteer-to-employee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">leads to full-time employment<\/a>.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-11810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/careeradvice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/using-keyword-effectively-cv-mistakes-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"decide your own workload - self-employed fundraiser\" width=\"744\" height=\"392\" \/>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"Always include evidence","content":"<h2>Always include evidence<\/h2>\r\nCharities want to work with people who can bring results and show a real drive and passion for the organisation. Think about the value you added in previous roles, even if they were voluntary.\r\n\r\nThe best way to explain why you\u2019re the right person for the role is by providing examples of your past achievements and adding statistics to these where possible. For example, instead of simply stating that you\u2019re a great communicator, you could write: \u201cListened to upwards of 30 calls a day on the charity helpline in order to offer the best advice to callers.\"\r\n\r\nShare any big impact projects you were involved in. How many shares did the video you made for a charity\u2019s social media channels receive? Have you ever surpassed a fundraising target\u2015if so, by how much and how did you achieve that?

If your charity CV is full of spelling and grammatical errors, it can look unprofessional or like you didn\u2019t care enough about the role to bother re-reading your application. Also, remember to use the active voice over the passive to show that you are a doer.
