Everyone at one time or other in his career requires a CV to apply for a
job. Here is a article to report important points required to write a
proficient Curriculum Vitae.
What is a CV?
A Curriculum Vitae or Resume is a documentary record of your education,
qualification and employment history.
When applying for any kind of job you are trying to sell your skills to the
employer. Initially, the average time an employer spends on your cv is
approximately 30 seconds. The employer will decide whether to interview you
depending on the contents of your CV. The CV is therefore not just a
documentary record of your career to date but but also a chance to sell
yourself. spending a little time getting your CV right is therefore well
worth the effort involved.
How do I write a CV?
First think about what makes you a good bet as an employee and what the
employer wants. Take a few minutes to plan what to write before typing it
up. Start by jotting down an outline of your CV by hand. Don't sit straight
down in front of a typewriter or word processor until you understand clearly
what skills you intend to 'sell' with CV.
How should it look?
» Clean and sharp - black ink on a white(A4) paper is best. » Clearly mark each section with a section heading. » Ask a friend to check the grammar and spelling before you send the CV. » Avoid fancy fonts and decorations - it is the content that is the content
that is really important.
Does length matter?
Yes, Keep it brief - but be sensible.2 to 4 sides is usually best.
What writing style should I use? » Write in the first person. » Stick to the point. An employer wants to identify your key skills and
experiences by glancing at your CV. If it is hard work to get this
information you will be passed over.
What else? » Give maximum coverage to your most recent experience or the
relevant skills
for the IT job you're after. » Don't leave gaps! Employers are suspicious of unexplained gaps in the
timeline of a CV. If you took a year off to go travelling or were forced not
to work because of other commitments then say so. » when you think you have finished, turn the tables on yourself.
Pretend the
CV belongs to someone else and you are the employer reviewing it. Be
critical!
Options vary as to the best format for a CV and in using visual effects
The importance of the cover letter.
The covering letter is truly of crucial importance .It's just as important
as the CV itself.
