But for a simple CV, just keep it clear, no more than 2 sides of A4 and on nice, decent quality plain paper.
Have headings to separate the key info:
Personal information - name, address, DoB, etc.
Education - in chronoloigical order, with dates, exams sat, grades, schools/colleges, etc
Other qualifications - professional memeberships to organisations, other non-school/college/uni based qualifications
Employment - place of work, dates, job title, brief comment of what he did, responsibilities, in the job
Interests - a little bit of what he lieks to do in spare time, to show he is a rounded character
References - should have 2. One ought to be last or current employer if possible, or at least a recent(ish) employer; other should be either another past employer or someone who can give a personal or professional reference
And send it all in with a covering letter, stating what job he is applying for, where he saw it advertised, the fact that he has enclosed his current CV and that's about it I think.
HTH for now!
