Writing your Curriculum Vitae (CV)
Identifying your skills
Effective career choice depends on two things: knowing what you're good at - your skills - and knowing what you want out of a career or a job - your interests and values.
All prospective employers will want to know what you can do. So when thinking about your skills, think of things you do well like what jobs/tasks are you skilled in? Are you a good organiser? If you are a student chances are that you will not have technical or formal qualifications, you don't necessarily have to have work experience to write a good CV. Think of things you have accomplished at school, in clubs or in sports.
Skills employers say they want included:
* Written communication
* Verbal communication
* Problem Solving
* Imagination, creativity
* Independence
* Ability to work well under pressure
* Ability to analyse
* Ability to take responsibility
* Reliability
* Determination and persistence
* Leadership
* Initiative
* Ability to keep to deadlines
* Effective in groups
CV Preparation
Make it neat
Take time to produce a neat, legible CV. A poorly thought-out CV tends to suggest an unpromising candidate. There are a variety of suggested structures for CV's, and there are as many different ideas as there are managers. Many people suggest that point form has more impact than long sentences and paragraphs and is easier to read for busy executives who often receive hundreds of CV's.
Make it unique
The main thing to remember is that it should be your CV - do not copy wording from other people's CV's - use your own words and phrases. Include activities and experiences that you enjoy - and do more than simply itemise them - explain what really interests you about them. Employers are interested in what makes you tick - how will you fit into their company.
Check your spelling
Check your spelling and grammar. Interviewers are particularly keen to spot weaknesses in this field.
Be concise
Keep it concise, but ensure that you include all relevant information relating to your education and any previous work-experience. CV's shouldn't be longer than two pages.
Include all activities
Account for all past activities and employment. Mature students especially should be careful not to leave gaps between dates.
Academic details
Give details of your academic career up to the present. Reverse date order is preferable.
Work experience
If you have any work experience, include start and end dates (month/year), company name, town and a brief description of the work you did, or preferably the skills learned. Note that work experience should be listed in reverse date order (i.e. most recent work first)
Special accomplishments
Mention any special distinctions prizes or any other achievements of which you are proud. Give brief details of your non-academic skills, including languages, driving licence, computer skills, etc.
