Understanding Curriculum Vitae

 

    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.
