**It almost goes without saying - but please don't just add your name and hand this CV in. At best, it will not give an idea of your personality or history, and come across as fake. At worst it will be recognised at plagiarism; between 10-20 people look at this particular CV every day so it won't be hard for your prospective employer to find it as well.

Do you have tips on writing your cover letter to support your cv as a newly qualified midwife
Hi Ellie,
Is the CV the same as the personal statement? As everywhere I look, job applications don’t seem to ask for a CV.
Thanks for the example though, it’s really helpful!
