Tips on writing a good CV
Profile
A profile summarizes the most important elements of your CV. It’s an opportunity to draw attention to things you want to highlight. It’s best to write it after the other elements of your CV are finished.
Education
List your education in reverse order. Start with your most recent school or college. If you have earned a higher degree don’t include high school and lower education information. Include the year of obtaining a degree or finishing a school, your grades if they were above average and any exceptional accomplishments or extracurricular activities.
Personal details
Here you state your name and contact information. Some people include their age, photo and marital status, however it is not obligatory to do so and considering factors like age and looks in hiring decisions is frowned upon.
Work experience
Like in the case of education list your work experience in reverse order. List the companies you have worked at, duration of your employment, the position you held, your accomplishments and responsibilities.
Skills
It’s important to not only list your skills but also provide some evidence or examples of use, at least elaborate on each skill and write more about it instead of just saying that you are i.e. motivated.
Interests
This is your chance to make yourself stand out and show your personality. Don’t state obvious interests, instead differentiate yourself from the rest of the crowd and focus on your not-so-typical hobbies. Include something you are passionate about that is related to the field you are working in.
The following criteria when composing your job objective statement
Your job objective sets the format of your CV
Your job objective should tell the employer what you could contribute to the organization, not what you want out of this job
Your job objective can be one (or two) sentence(s) in length
Use action-oriented words and phrases
Avoid the use of such first-person pronouns as 'I' or 'me'
