CURRICULUM VITAE
1.
Understanding
Curriculum vitae
is a document to provide a brief description of work experience, as well as
explain a curriculum vitae which is generally used as reference material when
applying for or looking for a job. In simple terms, a curriculum vitae is a
clear, concise and concise description of yourself as outlined in written form.
Curriculum vitae
is usually longer than a resume and usually contains applicant information,
such as personal data, educational background, skills, work experience and so
on.
In essence, you have to be smart in compiling this document so you can do self-branding and be chosen as the right person to fill the job position needed.
2. Function
- To tell employer about your personal
details like education, work experience, skills and interests.
- To get an interview for a specific job you
have applied for.
- To show how you meet the criteria for the
job you are applying for.
- To show the quality of yourself and
convince the boss to invite you for an interview.
- Curriculum vitae is a snapshot of your career history; it is used to evaluate your suitability for the specific role you have applied for.
3. What to include in your CV
1. Personal information
At the top of the
curriculum vitae, write your full name and contact information such as phone
number, email address, etc. You can also include an explanation of the areas of
work you are good at or interested in.
2. Education
Educational
information includes a list of educational programs you attended and the year
and name of the institution you attended.
Some
employers may also ask you to show the grades/awards you have earned at various
levels of education. The company uses educational information to determine
whether your professional qualifications match the job requirements of the
position for which you are applying.
3. Work experience
The work experience section requires that you include recent work experience that is relevant to the position you are applying for. List relevant work experience starting from the most recent position you held.
4. Honors and awards
If you have been awarded any awards either at an academic level or during your previous employment, list them here.
5. Skills
If you
have a particular skill and you haven't mentioned it elsewhere in the
curriculum vitae, list it here. Skills may include language skills, computer
skills, driving skills, advanced software skills, etc. They must be relevant to
the job you are applying for.
4. Sentences
- Stay simple, focus and make sure it only contains
one clause. To be more meaningful, you must add a transition phrase to help
connect it with the sentence around it.
- Build sentences. The complete sentence contains
a group of words about the subject. Each contains a clause (part of the
sentence), starting with capital letters and ends with a point.
- Maintain sentences as short as possible.
- Never use two words when someone is going to do
it.
- Make sure your sentence contains at least one
adjective or word (or both).
- Try not to repeat words that are not necessary
in it.
- Use quotes to display quotes.
- Insert the two before describing the list of
words.
- In general, you must talk about your old jobs in
the past and your current job in the present form.
- Write as the first or third person. If you write
as the first person, try not to use 'me' or 'I' repeatedly. Likewise, if you
decide on a third person's option, be sure to start your sentence with words of
action.
- Writing as a third person tends to be more concise, effective, and to the point.
