Re: how do you write your cv?
I'm assuming you're using "CV" as in "resume", which is what it means here in the States as opposed to "curriculum vitae" which is what "CV's" literal abbreviation is.This isn't a question with a straightforward answer. What's on your resume and how it's formatted depends on what field you're in. It also depends on where you are in your career (if you're in high school, undergrad, graduated with bachelors, etc).My resume, for example, has my contact info at the top, followed by expected date of graduation with my bachelors, skills, personal projects, and ends with previous work experience. This format is best for me being in computer science. A resume in social work will drastically different from mine because they're conveying two completely different fields.If you're in high school or college, I'd go to your guidance counselor/career services center to get some input. Alongside that process, you should browse around Google. There's convention for the proper organization of a resume, and some sites will review yours and give you feedback.Generally, your resume should be short, sweet, and to the point. Use bulletpoints that are succinct but convey your strengths and best qualities. Look up strong keywords that will help you stand out. "Spearheaded" looks much better than "did well." Be as specific as possible. "Works well with others" is far too vague and simple. How did you work well with others? What did you do while working with others? In what way(s) did you do those things well? Here's a sample line of my work experience:Strongly contributed to designing proof of concept through voice-user-interface model design and implementationThis line tells the recruiter what I accomplished, how I accomplished it, and (not demonstrated in this point), what impact it had on the project I was contributing to.As for the formatting, don't use super small font. Use headings that outline the different sections. Bold those headings. Keep everything left-aligned and in one column. Recruiters spend about 6 seconds on average looking at a resume. They have hundreds upon hundreds to go through, so they can't inspect every minor detail down to its core. This is why it's highly important to make sure what you put on your resume has a huge impact.The other thing worth noting here is that if you plan on applying for positions online, your resume will be processed through filters and parsers. Chances are, your resume won't even cross a human recruiter's desk until after computers have determined through their algorithms that you're a potential candidate.In short, look around online and do some reading. I spent a good deal of time checking this topic out, and it paid off when I received an email from Amazon about a software development position.
