How do I write a CV? This is the exact question I asked myself. Now I know how
to do it. And I want to show you how to finish your CV in less than 1 hour.
The following simple steps will show you
exactly how do I write a CV:
1: Add your full name and contact information
At the top of the first page, add your full
name, physical and email address and phone numbers. If you like you can also add your birthday
and your titles.
2: Write a simple profile section
Briefly mention in your profile section your emotional
and moral traits, your career goal and your ideal work environment and position.
3: Describe your work experience and results
List all the companies you worked for. For
each company, mention how long you worked there, what you did there and what you learned from
the whole experience.
4: Write about your years of schooling and learning
Start with your high school and add
your college and so on. Mention when you started and when you ended each of the school periods
like for example your high school. Add a general description of what you've learned there.
Remember to mention your marks if they are good.
It's also advisable to mention additional courses that you completed. Because you went through
the hassle of completing them, the job recruiters will think that you are passionate about your
work. Most employers want passionate employees to work for them.
5: Awards, competitions won, diplomas and prizes received
All of these will help you stand
out from the masses. The more relevant and the more important they are, the more valuable will
be perceived by the recruiter. Employers and shareholders love experts. This is the case
especially when the experts work for them and make them rich.
If you received lots of awards in the past, you can position yourself as an expert. Make sure
you add a brief paragraph describing the importance of your awards like: how hard is to get
one, why it is relevant and what it means. Don't brag about them. Simply state the facts.
6: Language skills
The more languages your speak, write and read fluently the better you
will be perceived, especially by an international company. For each language, describe your
level of expertise when writing, reading or speaking in that particular language.
7: Computer skills
They need to know if you are computer literate or not. The computer
skills are critical only when you apply for a position in IT. In the rest of the situation,
they just need to make sure you know the basics.
8: Hobbies
List the most important activities you like to do in your spare time. They are
looking for a team player who gets along with others and has a life outside work.
9: Referees
List a few important people who know first hand about your skills. Add their
contact information. Make sure you tell them that you're going to put their name in your CV.
