HOW TO WRITE A GOOD CV
WRITING A CV
FOLLOW THESE STEPS
1.
Know what information a CV generally contains.
Most C Vs include your personal information, your education and qualifications, your work
experience, your interests and achievements, your skills, and references. Also
experienced people tailor your resume to the job you are applying for. Use a
modern but professional format. However, there is no set format for a CV, what
you include is up to you
2.
Consider the job you are applying for
Research the
company. A good CV is tailored to the specific job and company you are applying
for. What does the company do? What is their mission statement? What do you
think they are looking for in an employee? What skills does the specific job
you are applying for require? These are all things to keep in mind when writing
your CV.
See if there is any specific information they want you to
list in your CV. There might be specific directions listed on the application
page. Always double check this
4.
Make a list of jobs you have held
These
can be both jobs you hold currently and jobs you have held in the past. Include
the dates that you began and ended your term at each particular job.
5. Brainstorm your hobbies and interests
Unique interests or hobbies will make you stand out. Be
aware of the conclusions that might be drawn from your hobbies. Try to list
hobbies that portray you as a team-oriented individual rather than as a
solitary, passive person. Companies want someone who works well with others and
can take charge if need be.
6. Make a list of your relevant skills
These skills often include computing skills, languages you
speak, or specific things the company is looking for, such as targeted skills.
