How do I upload my CV?

You will need to have a CV saved on your computer. We accept CVs in Microsoft Word, RTF or Plain Text document. We do not accept any other format (e.g. PDF, Excel, Word Perfect etc).

Ideally the CV should not contain graphics, text boxes or multi-column layouts as we have a 200 KB upload limit and images cannot be searched by recruiters. You should aim to keep the layout of your CV as simple as possible.

    Tip: Our software automatically pulls information off your CV including your last three jobs and enters that information onto your Profile & CV. Please check that your profile is up-to-date as you can also edit this section yourself.

    I would like help uploading my CV as I am having problems

    One of the main reasons why a CV will not upload successfully is because the format is not compatible with our system. We only accept Microsoft Word (.doc), Rich Text Format (.rtf) or Plain Text (.txt) CVs under 200 KBs in size.

    We do not accept CVs containing scanned images as they cannot be searched on the CV database, or CVs that contain complex formatting.

    If you have completed your CV in Microsoft Word, RTF or Text Format, but are still having issues then it could be because Java Script is not enabled in your browser.

    For details of how to check Java Script is enabled on your computer please visit the following sites:
