Can you give me examples of how to write cv?

Answer 1

While there are certainly other elements that can and should be included in different types of resumes, every resume should contain these six aspects in order to ensure your resume is read and to maximize your chances of gaining an interview.

Here are the six basic keys to resume success:

1. Target your Resume. The most effective way to ensure your resume gets positive attention from a prospective employer is to target it to the requirements of the job you are applying for. A targeted resume will clearly address the selection criteria for the position by emphasizing the experience, skills and qualifications that match the skills requirements of the job.

2. Contact Information. Your contact information must be up to date and accurate and located at the top of your first page irrespective of your resume's format. It must include your name, address, home and cell phone numbers and email address. If you make contacting you too hard, you simply won't be contacted.

3. Statement of Objectives. Every professional resume should have a statement of objectives. When you state your objectives clearly and concisely you can give an employer insight into how you can contribute to the organization as well as the type of position you are seeking.

It is important to be clear and straightforward in your objective statement. Don't be afraid to boldly state your objectives for fear of not getting the job.

4. Education. All professional resumes have an education section, which is presented in reverse chronological order irrespective of the format of the rest of the resume. This means that your most recent qualification is listed first, along with the institution you obtained it from.

List all significant awards or results. If your course of study is not yet completed, provide the expected date of graduation and the name of the course. If you have received any outstanding results to this point, mention them.

5. Achievements. When you are writing resumes, it is very important to list your achievements on your resume. No matter how much or little experience you have, stating your accomplishments indicates that your efforts were well targeted and effective.

6. Edit and Proofread. The last thing you want is to send off a resume with typographical or other errors in it. Grammatical and typographical errors are sure ways to ensure your resume ends up in the waste basket. Do not rely on word processing spell checkers.

They are not adequate. If you feel unable to proofread your own work to ensure freedom from errors, then find someone who you can trust to proofread and edit your resume before sending to a potential employer.
