A curriculum vitae (CV) provides an overview of a person's life and qualifications. You know that you're a star but without a knock-out CV, no-one else will believe you. Here's how to impress and write yourself into a better job.
First, be concise (简洁的). It's not War and Peace. says Steven Kirkpatrick, the managing director of Adecco Staffing. Recruiters (考官) who have to plough through hundreds of CVs don't enjoy flowery long articles. Use active verbs and ensure that every sentence counts.
Second, tell the truth. The most important thing is not to lie, Kirkpatrick says. People decorate their CV by adding things to make themselves more attractive, he says, only to embarrass themselves later. If your first impression is a lie, it's not a great basis for moving forward.
Then, focus on your skills. A CV is a selling tool and how you break down what you have learnt and what you can do is me most important. It's OK to simplify job titles to make them clearer, Sharman says. Just outline your achievements and experience to back that up, and say more about your recent roles.
Also, personalize it. There's nothing as bad as getting an automatically created CV from a website, Kirkpatrick says. What they are buying is you, so sell them you. It's always nice to have personal information that makes you a human being, Sharman says. But do try to stand out from the crowd.
Finished? So you've written the perfect CV. That's the job half done. Last but not least, check out how to write the perfect covering letter.
