Most important things possible - spelling, punctuation and grammar.

No offence to you, but looking at your postings, make sure someone else proof reads your CV before sending it anywhere.

I'll throw a CV straight in the bin if there are mistakes on it.

I am doing a course at Uni that prepares an engineer for any type of communication. When it came to CVs the doctor stressed on format and layout, If there is a stack of CVs they gonna need to choose a few. Obviously you need your basics like experience and qualification but having good referees with great titles would count in your favour. Haaa I can't pay attention for long that's all I can remember mate

my college tutor has told me that your covering letter matters more than the actual CV somehow, and get somehow to proof read it to ensure there are no spelling/punctuation mistakes.

As said, make sure your spelling, grammer etc is bang on.

You need to make it quite formal but add some character in there so that it is an interesting read.

For example, even though i am a property manager working in London i still have a few random things on my CV like the fact i am a sailing and windsurfing instructor and that i have done a bungee jump! its adds to good talking points if you are to get an interview.
