Civil Service CV

Your CV supports the sift but rarely replaces behaviour statements. Keep it clear, chronological and tailored to the essential criteria.

What to include

• Contact details and eligibility essentials the form asks for.
• Recent roles with scope, scale and achievements, not duty lists alone.
• Skills and tools named in the advert, only if you can evidence them.
• Qualifications and memberships that are relevant.

What to skip

Photos, date of birth, full postal address history beyond what is asked, and long personal hobbies sections.
