We Answered:

Wow dude at your age as mention is quite tough to write a CV for sure but what I can tell u is , first thing that apply to any job is you must let them "to get to know you", at your age probably what anyone would be looking at... is your attitude and your willing to learn so I would try to include in personal objectives that shows this.

For the format honestly dont spend too much time use p example the microsoft formats already loaded in the word or dowload anoter you kind of like.

And please no more than one page.

Jesus Said:

what's the best way to say this in my CV?

We Answered:

You should show it as how much credit you have toward your masters, or not at all. It is not unusual for people not to complete their master. It's a LOT of work, as you've discovered. That's not to say you won't change your mind in the future, but you should show how much post-grad education you have. When you are being interviewed, always put a positive spin on it. It's about what you have accomplished, not what you haven't.

Samantha Said:

In a CV can I write this?

We Answered:

Simply state you are fluent in English and then state whatever your native language is also.
i.e. I am fluent in English and French. You also might want to state your English writing proficiency is at the college level or whatever educational level you are at.

If you have the necessary qualifications for the job, then they will call and set up an appointment. If you're English is poor they will certainly know then.

one last tip, in your previous job descriptions or outside activities you might want to hint at your English speaking skills. An example is "I acted as a tour guide for a group of visiting high school teachers during their stay in 2004"
You get what I am saying.
Some similar situation to show you have great English communications skills - good luck

Hello.

Tips on how to write a curriculum vitae (CV / resumé) in English:

The style and layout of a curriculum vitae (CV) in English is often different to in other languages. These steps explain how to write a standard English CV.

Step 1

make notes.

Make notes on your work experience, both paid, unpaid, full-time and part-time. Write down your responsibilities, job title and company information. Include everything!


Step 2

make notes


Make notes on your education. Include your degree or any certificates, names of major courses, school names and courses relevant to the job you are applying for.


Step 3

make notes

Make notes on other achievements. Include membership of organizations, military service and any other special accomplishments.


Step 4
choose relevant skills

From your notes, choose which skills are relevant (skills that are similar) to the job which you are applying for.

These are the most important points for your CV.


Step 5

Personal details


Begin your CV. Write your full name, address, telephone number, email, date of birth, marital status and nationality at the top of the CV.

Step 6

Objective

Write an objective. The objective is a short sentence describing the job you hope to get. This is common only in an American-style CV (called a resumé).


Step 7

Education/Qualifications


Summarize your education, including important facts (type of degree, specific courses you have studied) that are relevant to the job you are applying for.

Step 8

Experience

List all of your work experience, job by job. Start with the your most recent job and progress backwards in time. Again, focus on skills that are relevant.
Include the company details and your job title and responsibilities there.

Step 9

Skills


Include other relevant information such as languages spoken, computer skills, etc.

Step 10

Interests


Very briefly include your hobbies and main interests.

Step 11

References


Finish with the line: References available upon request.


NOTE:

Ideally your CV in English should not be longer than one page. Two pages are only acceptable if you have had many different jobs and a variety of experience.

Spacing, aligning and layout are very important when you write your CV, in order to create a positive and professional impression.

Use 'dynamic' and 'action' verbs such as: attained, accomplished, conducted, established, facilitated, founded, managed, etc.

Do not use the personal pronoun 'I' in your CV, use tenses in the past, e.g. Established and managed a new sales force for the region.


Hope this helps you. Thank you.
