Just a quick question:

When applying for job vacancies in different industries, should you always make your CV specific to the role your applying for?
For example, the information on my current CV is design and multimedia specific. If I was to apply for a part time role outside this industry should the personal statement, attributes and other information change?

Ta!
 
Thanks guys.

I actually forgot I'd made this thread. Got a couple more questions:
When applying for a job via email, should I start the email with just "Hi", or should I just amore formal phrase like "Dear sir or Madame"?
I'd usually just go with "Hi, blah blah".

Also, I'm having a bit of trouble making my personal statement/profile to fit the job. Should I just tell them about myself, what I'm studying, what I intend to do in the future etc?

Thanks.
 
One final thread bump!

I was wondering if someone could give me a little hand with my personal statement and proof read etc. I'm having a bit of trouble making it relate to role I'm after.

My msn address is: me[at]ryanarts[dot]co[dot]uk
I'd rather do it over msn, than posting the details on the forum.

Thanks in advance!

I always thought it was the covering letter that should carry the weight on the job application and the CV would be fairly generic if it's been done well.

What exactly should a covering letter contain?
I thought the personal statement section on a cv should give a basic overview of what you've been doing, what you aspire to and how/why you want/would be good for the job.
