Regardless of if you are returning to work after a GAP year or starting a family, looking for a new career or looking for your first job, you need to be aware of your own skill set and what you can offer to any company. If you already have a career that you enjoy and just want to explore other jobs within that career then there are certain things you should consider.

For example, you should make sure that your CV is up to date with all relevant contact details and present / previous employment history. It may also be worth comparing your CV to someone else’s who has recently acquired a job if you have not used your CV for a while, as often the styles of CV’s tend to develop over the years. Your CV is very significant in identifying who you are, what your skill set and level of experience is and the type of work you have been doing. You will need to be able to present yourself in a proficient manner, so when you are contacted and asked to attend an interview, you sell yourself to your potential employer.
