1. Include a Covering Letter
Make sure to include a covering letter with your CV. Employers often have multiple vacancies open at once, so clearly stating which role you are applying for will ensure your application gets to the right person.
2. Highlight Relevant Skills
Transport and logistics roles require specific skills, such as route planning, vehicle maintenance knowledge, or warehouse management. Ensure that your key skills are clearly highlighted in your CV, making it easy for employers to see your suitability for the role.
3. Keep it Clear & Concise
Your CV should be no longer than two pages. Employers in the transport and logistics industry are often busy, so keeping your CV concise and to the point will help you make a strong impression without overwhelming the reader.
4. Put Your Most Recent Experience First
Employers want to see your most recent experience first. If you’ve been driving HGVs for the past few years or working in a warehouse environment, make sure this experience is at the top of your CV to highlight your current skills and knowledge.
5. Contact Information is Key
Ensure your contact details, including your mobile telephone number and email address, are clearly visible. If you have a LinkedIn profile, include the link so employers can see more about your professional experience and endorsements.
6. Check Your Spelling & Grammar
Accuracy is crucial, especially in an industry where attention to detail is key. Poor spelling and grammar can leave a negative impression, so double-check your CV before submitting it.
