First, think about the role you are applying for and identify the skills, abilities and experience they require. Then take a look back at your work experience. If you are going for accounting auditing jobs, take a look at the various related tasks you have been involved in and highlight these along with relevant skills, such as, accuracy and numeric skills etc

Then assess your education. Pick out various accounting modules or coursework you may have done at University or College that matches the role of the job you are applying to.

Finally, think about any courses or additional activities you have done, even those hobbies that may also help sell yourself. If you have attended an accounting course outside of work, then mention this and highlight the specific skills you learn.

It is so important that you try to match your CV to the accounting jobs you are applying to. If the reader can see all the skills and abilities they require at a glance, you will make it very easy for them to see that you are the right candidate.
