A really good CV (Curriculum Vitae) or resume is the only way to get
ahead in today's job market or find that new job opportunity.
There are lots of ways to physically get your CV (Curriculum Vitae) or
resume into the hands of potential employers, whether you wish to
work at home or if you wish to go to work within the corporate
environment. You can fax your CV, you can email your CV, you can
post it, and you hand it in personally to the company. With all these
ways to get your Curriculum Vitae into the hands of employers you
must realize that others are also sending their CV to the same
employers in the same manner. It is quite easy to apply for a job for
all, so the CV that you deliver must sell yourself effectively for the
position offered and give you the attention you deserve.
The CV is vital to finding employment or advancing in your career,
and you will need to communicate how you fit into the relevant job
criteria and in that employers are looking for while browsing your
Curriculum Vitae. The information you supply should include your
experience, skills, education, levels of responsibility and maybe any
quantifiable achievements within your employment history. You will
also need to present this information in a concise, targeted and
attractive way. Today, with the internet you will be able to find various,
good and bad CV templates that will guide you through the process
of writing a CV. Of course, you will still need to make the decisions as
to how you wish your information to be displayed on the format. Many
use a chronological CV, which may only list the education and the
work history in order of its occurrence. However, you can also use a
template for your CV that will allow you to write more information
along with your work history such as awards, promotions, machinery
used, etc.
Remember, your CV is a introduction document written to get you a
job interview. This will be used to draw a great first impression of not
only your qualifications, but also you as a person, more or less like
the first handshake. First impressions are crucial whether you are
meeting you for the first time or if they are learning about you from
your CV. You need to impress the potential employer or recruiter with
your skills and qualifications.
The beginning (profile) of the CV should draw in the employer, the
middle will only be scanned, and the last will conclude why you would
be beneficial to the company. You need to use words that will keep
the employer reading and interested in hiring you instead of just
listing a bunch of unimportant training and skills that have nothing to
do with the job in question.
