C.V. or Curriculum Vitae is the most important piece of document when you are on the job market. With a high quality C.V. you boost drastically your chances to get the job you desire! In this article I will give you 7 deadly rules in how to write an award winning C.V.
The first rule of C.V. writing is to not exceed 2 pages; this gets really hard sometimes especially when you have lots of experience or qualifications.
The second rule is to always start your C.V. with a brief resume. In this area you will write a 2 to 3 paragraph long review about yourself. You will include your very latest qualifications, skills and the types of jobs that you are targeting. You will have briefly explained why these types are very suitable for you (backing up with your skills and qualifications).
The third rule is to list your qualification in a chronological order (very latest first). You will also mention the college name (in capital letters) and address along with the date of accomplishment.
The fourth rule if to list your skills in bullet points.
The fifth rule if to write the most closed match job experience that you had, chronologically (from latest first). You will include the name and address of the employer or company with your position and a sort description of your role. You should also include the month and year of starting and ending dates.
The sixth rule is to write about your interests and hobbies do not skip this rule. The employer knows you only from your C.V. so acknowledging these things helps them to figure out the kind of person you are (socially).
The seventh and the last rule is to reassure the reader that you can provide good references about yourself, by ending the document with “references available upon request”.
