Driver CV Example

Format

Format your CV clearly, yet tastefully so that it is visually appealing and easy-to-read. When choosing your CV layout, think about your most influential attributes and professional knowledge or skills that make you a star candidate. For example, if you have lots of experience driving professionally, it would be ideal to list your work experience first.

What kinds of aspects should you take into consideration when formatting your driver CV?

• Font type and font size
• Margins
• CV layout

If you’ve got questions about the design of your driver CV as opposed to the format, scroll down to read more about CV design.

Font type and font size are both important factors of formatting your CV. Choose a standard font to use and make sure that it is legible. It might seem a good idea to make the font smaller in order to fit in more on your CV, but it is really not worth it if it means that your CV is difficult to read!

A good tip for checking whether your font is legible and at a good size is to print out your CV to check it (this is also handy for proofreading your CV!). If you cannot read your CV properly, consider bumping up your font size. It depends on the type of font you choose but a rough font size guide is from 10-12.

Margins and CV layout should be considered carefully when writing your driver CV: These two aspects of a CV go hand in hand with CV design, such as the possibility of choosing a template to help with the formatting of your CV.

Other aspects of CV format to consider are whether you wish to write a chronological, skills-based or combination CV.

A chronological CV is useful for presenting your work experience in a reverse chronological order that reflects your progressive career. Whereas, a skills-based CV focuses more on attributes, characteristics and skills and how the jobseeker can use them to perform the tasks required for the job. Combination CVs incorporate both a reverse chronological order work experience at the same time as drawing attention to job-specific skills and specialised knowledge.

Photo

Putting a professional headshot on your CV in a CV custom in some countries around the world, although in the U.K. this has not been adopted. You don’t need to include a photo in your driver CV.

Sections of a Driver CV

Which sections should you include in your driver CV? If you’re wondering whether to include a reference or mention hobbies or achievements, read up on the sections you should definitely include or consider including.

Your driver CV include should definitely include the following three sections:

• Personal details
• Work experience
• Skills

Drivers who work with clients, tourism or as a form of taxi service might wish to include:

• Languages

There are other sections of a CV that can be included in a CV, such as:

• Qualifications
• Education
• Achievements
• Languages
• Hobbies & interests
• References

Remember that you choose what to include in your CV. If the job description asks for job applicants to include a reference or specify and particular achievements then include these particular sections! Writing a CV is all about tailoring your job application to the particular job at hand, so do all you can to tick the boxes!

CV Length

Ideally, a CV should be 1-2 A4 pages long. You can compact your CV information into a one-page CV should you find that it makes for a more powerful professional profile presentation. It can also be a good method for cutting out unnecessary information or irrelevant details.
