Use active verbs when possible in order to make your CV more engaging. For example, instead of listing ‘responsibilities’, use ‘managed’, ‘supervised’ or ‘led’.

A well-written CV will not contain any spelling or grammar mistakes. This will show that you have a strong attention to detail and that you are taking the application process seriously.

Avoid using generic, over-used phrases such as ‘team player’, ‘hardworking’ and ‘multitasker’. Instead, try to give specific examples of when you have displayed these qualities.

Tailor your CV to each individual job application. This means specifying why you are the ideal candidate for that particular role.

Make sure your email address sounds professional. Avoid using addresses that are too casual or that contain nicknames.

What is CV writing in English?

A CV and resume are similar in that they are both documents that summarise your professional history, education, skills and achievements. They are also both documents you might provide an employer for consideration for an open position.

How do I write a CV for my first?

Your name and contact information should be at the top of your CV. Include your full name, address, email address, and phone number.

Next, write a short personal statement. This is a paragraph where you can introduce yourself and explain what you’re looking for in a job.

After the personal statement, list your key skills. These are the qualities that make you a good fit for the job you’re applying for. For example, if you’re applying for a job as a receptionist, you might list qualities such as “friendly”, “organized”, and “good at multitasking”.

Next, list your education. Include the name and location of the school you attended, as well as the dates you attended and your grades. If you haven’t finished your education yet, you can list the grades you’ve been predicted.

Finally, list any relevant work experience you have. Include the name and location of the company you worked for, the dates you worked there, and a brief description of your duties.

What are the 5 main things your CV should include?

The key takeaway is that every CV should include the following sections: contact information, a CV profile, work experience, education, and skills. Good additional sections to put on a CV are: certifications, associations, languages, extra training and courses, conferences, publications, or awards.
It is also important to note that your CV should be updated regularly- at least every six months- in order to ensure that the information included is accurate and up-to-date.
