On a CV do you list your GCSEs in alphabetical order or in order of grade?

Question

Which do you think looks better?

Answer 1

order of grade

Answer 2

Most employers look at the grades. So go in order of grade.

Answer 3

My mum works in Human Resources and says she finds it particularly irritating when people order their subjects in order of grade. She much prefers alphabetical order

Answer 4

The rule of thumb is bring up the positive, especially the positive things relevant to the job. Put the best hings first and laid out in a way that stand out, so highest grades first.

Previous employment is in reverse chronological order.

Answer 5

I would do order of grade.

Answer 6

order of grade :)

Answer 7

i have just been doing one, i put mine in order of grade, and i put the important ones at the start of each grade category, e.g. english and maths and left the not so important ones till last.

Answer 8

Grades starting from highest down to the lowest. Ppl who read your cv are most likely going to skim through the first time so you want to be able to catch their attention. If you have a few with the same grade letter, arrange those into alphabetical order.

Answer 9

Completly upto you.. put at the top what you thinkh will be most emportant to your employed. Usually English and Maths are he most important to employers.  

But you can do it any way you like. I've seen plenty of CV's when employing people and I to be honest I prefer in order of grade.. But each to their own.

Answer 10

order of grade deffinately!!!!!!!

Answer 11

If you are applying for a job with the public sector yes. They seem to rely on these pedantic traits in people.
