Career History(most recent first)

Job Title:Company:Date: From/to showing year and month

• Start with a couple of lines about the company, size, location, products and activities.
• Highlight what you achieved in the role e.g. “top sales performance for 2016 of £xx or xx units” or “highest customer service score for last 3 months”. Make sure it relates to the role you are applying for.
• Try not to let this turn into a list of tasks you carried out. Both you and your employer know what a Vehicle Sales Executive does.
• Mention specifics about soft skills and your personal qualities remembering to keep it relevant to the job your applying for.

Do the same for all your jobs over the last 10-12 years, if you have had a series of similar jobs then you can reduce the detail the further back in time you go. Generally anything beyond 10 years old is less relevant and you can simply list job title, Company and dates. Make sure your dates match up – employers can be suspicious of unexplained gaps.
