Mike Shorrock, managing director of Spencer Clarke Group, said: “We’ve compiled this guide because writing a CV can be a daunting prospect and writing a CV which gets you to the interview stage is a challenge.

“We see countless CVs on a daily basis so we know what hiring managers are looking for and we wanted to share this information with jobseekers who might not be as familiar with the process.”

The free guide is available online now and you can read it here.
