Starting from scratch:
Perhaps the greatest anxiety comes when we have to write down our CVs from scratch!
Gathering all information and searching through the piles of files to jot down the very best we can afford to write down in our ‘CVs’ is a skill that not everybody can master!
Perhaps the research available suggests that a resume with spelling errors is prone to rejection at an alarming rate of 40% whereas the most worrisome thing about it is 34.4% ‘CVs’ are rejected merely because the resume is either too long or ends up being boring!
But… Stay calm as we have got things sorted out for you!
Here is what you need to keep an eye on:
1. Be truthful
As it is said, ‘Honesty is the best policy”! Perhaps what you hold to offer as a potential candidate for the job may be little but should be enough to be mentioned as the fruit honesty bears is beyond majors. It is reported that 45% of candidates under 45 lied about their job experiences for a posting in Australia!
2. Be precise
Be direct in your approach. Rather than mentioning a thing in a whole paragraph rather than a couple of sentences could really make the reader lose his/her interest.
Bad example:
Good example:
3. Be respectful
Always address the reader with respect by referring to them as ‘Respected Sir’ or ‘Honourable Sir/Miss’
4. Use simple font
Rather than opting for fancy fonts it is advised to adhere to simple fonts like Arial, Comic Sans and Calibri etc
4. Have plenty of white space
Type with lots of spaces where and when needed to make your document look pleasing and comfortable to be read.
5. Save in PDF
It is often advised to opt for pdf format to keep the format of your document intact unless suggested otherwise.
6. Use formal language style
Write in a formal style without using contractures or unnecessarily using exclamation marks to maintain your integrity. Needless to say, keep your spellings and grammar topnotch!
7. Try to write a ‘cv’ summary or cover letter:
Perhaps the best thing is to attach a ‘cv’ summary or a cover letter to give the reader a quick grasp of your areas of expertise.
8. Don’t use graphics
Do not attach your photo (unless advised) or insert funky drawings or shapes as it may appear to look unprofessional thus driving away the enthusiasm of the reader.
Structure your ‘CV’
1) Basic information which includes name, age, gender, current address and contact number.
2) Education: School and college attended
Note: Mention your education before your job experience if you are a newly graduated student.
3) Job experience: Mention of any that experience acts as a glittering star in your ‘CV’.
4) Skills:
- Hard skills: The skills that specialise you for the job.
- Soft skills: The skills you learned with time e.g. content writing, graphic designing and editing etc.
5) Conclusive statement.
Wait! Are you in a hurry? Want to just get done with it in a minute?
