Cv Essentials
A good CV does not necessarily have to be loaded with credentials or experience. In fact, even with undistinguished qualifications and uneventful experience, you may still be a likely candidate for the job you are applying provided you know exactly how to compile your CV. On the other hand, a person with experience aplenty may be rejected as a result of a ‘dead’ CV. To ensure that you are not among those rejected candidates, you need to be educated on the CV essentials.
Although there is no requirement for a CV title, having your name in place of it becomes an immediate differentiator from the usual title of ‘Curriculum Vitae’. Next in the CV should be your short and clear contact information. These should include your name, permanent address, telephone number (with the area code), your email address and website if it is related to something that may reflect your professional ambitions. Then, you should state your objective, executive summary or profile details. This will give the potential employers an insight as to the kind of work you are hoping for. The essence of your objective should be aimed at getting hired. Don’t make your profile too long and boring but keep it straight at your personal attributes and strengths. The key to a good profile is apt professionalism.
Educational achievements should be listed from the most recent information and specifically highlight your academic honours. If you have left school for more than about an year or two, list your educational qualifications after your work experience. Your career history should also be in reverse sequential order. It should include the nature of your work, name of company, date of employment, positions that were held, your responsibilities and roles and key achievements. Your career history should be titled as “Professional Experience”.
Finally, highlight your skills. These may include your information technology-related interests or any other skills that are relevant to the job you are applying for. List your language skills and competency levels as well. You can also include your interests and activities outside your work. This should be short and genuine. All in all, these are all CV essentials and if you have got them right, all is well with it.
