Create My Optician CV

Optical practices look for technical accuracy and the ability to recommend the right product. Your CV should show your experience in dispensing, glazing and sales.

State your professional qualification

Write your dispensing optician qualification and registration clearly. If you worked as the responsible optician in a practice, say so.

Separate the technical tasks

Reading prescriptions, measurements, lens choice, glazing, adjustments and repairs - say which you do independently.

Add sales and customer results

Monthly sales targets, success with varifocals or contact lenses and customer satisfaction.
