How to Write a Good CV

[MyWorld]

A professional CV is your best tool in applying for a job, especially if you are securing for a temporary work. At the very least, a well-constructed CV will place you at an advantage in promoting yourself and in securing interviews. Remember your CV is meant to market you in your absence.

In writing a CV, there are no specific formats to follow. Your CV can be constructed in any way you wish to do it, as long as it has the necessary information to make it an advantage for you.

What Information Should a CV Include?

* Career Objective:  Summarise your career objectives.

* Qualities: Summary your special qualities here that show the kind of person you are and that can stand you out from others.

* Personal Details: The majority of CVs begins with these, but make sure to avoid unnecessary ones such as religious affiliations, children's names and so on.

* Education and Qualifications: Be sure to include and arrange the names of the institutions and the dates you attended them in reverse order.

* Work Experience: In general, the accepted style of employment record is the chronological CV. The career history must be presented in reverse order such that it starts from the most recent one. Achievements and responsibilities are included together with the respective roles. Moreover, the recent jobs must be given more emphasis and information.

A practical CV can sometimes be more appropriate if it contains more of your unrelated jobs. This proves your different skills and the capability to handle different tasks. However, the career progression and nature of jobs held can be unclear with this type of CV.

* Skills: In your list of skills, you can take into account computer skills and foreign language skills, as well as your recent trainings/development which are relevant for the position you are applying for.

*Hobbies and Interests: This section must not necessarily be long, just be specific and keep it short.

* Referees: These can simply be listed or 'Available on request'.

The order by which all this information will be arranged in your CV and the emphasis that you give to each one of these entirely depends on the position that you are applying for and what you have to offer.
