Curriculum vitae (Resume) Lecture 4 General CV Layout • The CV contains several main sections. • You need to think about which sections to include and which order to present them in; not all of them are necessary. • Think about what is most important for the job you are applying for? Is it your Skills? Education? or Experience? NAME (big and bold) Address Telephone/Mobile Email (professional looking) You may wish to consider adding a link to your LinkedIn profile or a professional blog or website you wish to share PROFILE: • A 3-5 lines are sufficient for a profile (often called a personal statement, personal profile or objective). • Use the same language/jargon as the employer and use this to reflect the Job you are applying for – i.e. what type of person do you think the employer would be looking for? • Be original and specific, avoid clichés and if you can’t think of anything good to say, don’t bother. ✔ EDUCATION: List your education in REVERSE chronological order (most recent first) • University/College/School Name, Dates ✔ EXPERIENCE: List your experience in REVERSE chronological order (most recent first), in some case, it may be beneficial to create 2 Experience sections to differentiate “Relevant” and “Other” Work Experience. • Name of Employer, Dates Job Title • Responsibilities, clearly presented through use of bullet points and ‘action’ verbs. ✔ SKILLS: Usually emphasized in a ‘Skills’ based CV, the examples included should provide clear evidence of the skills that meet the needs addressed by the employer in their advert/job description and personal specification. ✔ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Is there any other information the employer has asked for? For example, do you need a driving license, work permit, or particular level of computer literacy? ✔ INTERESTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS: This section is an opportunity to give the employer a better sense of who you are as a person. You could include memberships of clubs or societies and any additional roles of responsibility. You, also, could include awards, prizes and scholarships that you may obtained. ✔ REFERENCES: If you have space, you may be required to provide full contact details of two referees who have known you in a professional capacity (usually previous managers or tutors). In most cases, however, it is acceptable simply to state: • Available on request or furnished upon request. Notes • Note 1: you may include any publication or conferences that you attended or training session related to the job you are applying to. • Note 2: You may add a section for your personal information, such as birth date, citizenship (nationality) marital status, gender, and number of children that you may have • Note 3: you may add your picture to the upper right hand corner if it is required by the employer.
