How to write a CV for fresh graduates?

We Answered:

There are at least 3 resume templates on the MS downloads site for resume (am changing the "CV" to resume deliberately, more later) writing. Although these are easy to use, they won't tell you past the basics of contact information and headers how to write a resume.

One of the best guides to writing a CV is to put yourself in the place of the employer: why should the employer hire you? Most resume writers decide that related experience and character issues are the answers. For example, cite your volunteer or family exposure (does'tdoesn't like you've done this professionally) to children, caretacare takingeaching. If your GPA is excellent, and you excelled in coursework related to your chosen work, if you have awards (attendance, i.e.) and if you have participated in community or family activities related to kids, all is worth mentioning. And if you speak another language which might help you communicate with children in your care, mention that also.

About the resume construction: suggest you do not place your street address on the resume - security risk; instead, be sure your email, contact phone and message and cell phone are on it.

CV is Curriculum Vitae and is normally a term to describe one's entire life as related to work; normally a CV is written for a job which requires publications and academic recognition. Resume is a summary of work and life experience related to work of a more hands-on variety.

Good luck!

Worked in dads company – what to write in CV?

We Answered:

Tell them that you were an intern and per diem employee. It isn't necessary to tell them that it was a family owned and operated business until the interview. You can tell them what you would like to make for the position you are seeking and tell them what you made when you were actually paid for whatever you were doing that was outside of your normal "internship". Good Luck.

What do you write in a cover letter for a CV?

We Answered:

As per the other response is but to stand out add a little in there about your experience that is relevant to the role. You want them to read the letter and then want to go onto your CV.

A bog standard letter shows that you have not really thought about i or the position but adding that little extra shows that it is specific to their role and you are interested.

Good luck
