RESUME or a
Curriculum Vitae (CV) is the first thing an employer will look at from your
application. It should reflect your personal info. Such as; education history,
work experience, hobbies and interests, etc. Technically your CV describes you
and what you can actually do, so when designing a Resume, what should be
included, should be what you have accomplished and what you can actually do.
The
standard structure of a good cv
Your CV (curriculum vitae) is the business
card you give to the company where you are going to apply, usually combined
with your cover letter. Your CV is a sum of short
sentences that explain who you are, what you are capable of and what working
experience you have. If you do not have any experience with making or
delivering a cv, guidelines could be helpful. So, what exactly do you include
in your resume?
Personal
details
Your personal details are always on
top of your CV. At least state your name, address, phone number, e-mail
address, marital status, nationality, date of birth, place of birth, and
language spoken,
Educational
Background
State all your relevant studies and
courses that you have taken. Start with the last study you were doing or all
still doing and work in a chronological way back. State the name of the
educational institution, diplomas/degrees you have obtained and the dates.
Work
experience
Under the heading work experience
will be the enumeration of jobs you have had. The same here, start with the
most recent job you have had and work your way back into history. State the
name of the companies for which you have worked, the location, the job title
you filled and a short job description. Depending on the function you are
applying for, leave irrelevant jobs behind.
Computer
skills
Indicate what computer programs you
control and how well you do it. Think about software packages but specific
systems as well. Computer skills is vital in today’s world, as every org. is
now computerized.
Interests
and other activities
Lastly, state all issues you think
are important but have not shown up in your Resume yet. Think about hobbies,
interests and other relevant topics that say something about you. Do not forget
to state your other activities, if you have done any administrative functions
or voluntary work, you state this as well of course. Use the last part of your Resume
to make it as personal as possible.
