How to write a good CV?

We Answered:

Centralize the heading, Curriculum Vitae. Then press the enter button twice. Add the title in bold and underline, Personal Details. Under the heading, add name, address, email (if necessary). For example:
Name: Joe Bloggs
Address: 8 Springfield Drive, Gotham City.
Date of Birth: 6th of June 2006
Email: jb@employer.com

Enter bar twice then add education and training in capitals, bold and underline including this symbol - :
Name important schools and training courses with the years attended in brackets. For example:
Dumb Elementary Grove, Bluetits Street ( April 2009)
or something like that. you get the idea.

Enter button twice. Add the heading achievements in capitals, bold and underline and - :
Mention any awards you got in bullet points for each. E.g.
(bulllet point here) Dumb bell Award in idiocy class.

Add the heading Skills. Same font settings for previous heading. Mention your skills. E.g. Communication, computers etc.
Enter button twice. Heading this time is personal qualities. Apply font settings. E.g Punctual, hardworking, reliable, trustworthy etc. Mention strengths like being efficient and helpful.
Enter twice. Heading: Work History. Apply settings. In bullet points for each, mention your duties, dates started and finished and name of work. Example:
Fossetts Circus, Disneyland
From: 7th of July 2007 To: 8th of August 2008
Comedian: Involved making an a55 out of myself, dealt with audience.
Enter twice. Add heading. Apply settings for Hobbies/Interest. That's easy enough to understand.
Enter twice. Add a reference. A reference is a person who knows you are a good worker and will point that out when they are contacted by the organisation you wish to apply with. This is essential in a CV. Add their address and contact number.
I hope this has been of some help.

Should a CV Personal Profile be Written in the 1st of 3rd person?

We Answered:

I was always told to write a resume in the 1st person - and use active, not passive language.

Passive (BAD): "I was assigned a project..."
Active (GOOD): "I participated in a project..."

You can even leave out the "I" - it's understood you're talking about yourself: "Participated in a project..."

Use descriptive, positive, action verbs whenever possible: Participated, achieved, performed, attended, completed, etc.

Remember, the point of a resume is to quickly state what you have done, and are doing. Be short and to the point.

Using 3rd person will make you sound like you have a mental problem. Ever meet someone who only speaks about himself in 3rd person? It's creepy. Don't do it on your resume. Besides which, it's assumed your resume is about you. Your name already appears on the top of the page so there's no reason to repeat it a bunch of times in the rest of the document. I've never seen a resume or CV that was written in 3rd person. I have no idea where this website got such a (horrible!) idea.

Remember, short and to the point. Your resume should be no longer than 1 page long unless you've got tons of job experience that is applicable to the position you're applying for - but that usually won't happen until you've got ~5-10 years of professional experience.

Even then, most people will barely read the first half of the page - and almost no one will look at any additional pages even if they're relevant. So, arrange your information accordingly. Put your strongest and most current information on top.

Writing a CV - your 'objective' ??

We Answered:

I don't recognise writing an 'objective' is a necessary part of a CV - either a traditional one or a skills based one.
Therefore my answer to your question is, you do not need to put an objective.

I am wondering what your CV looks like though you say it is good? You do not need to write an objective and there are many examples of CVs on the web where such an express objective is not stipulated.

Dean Said:

Since you have to write your own 'CV' how would your employer proof that you have them qualifications?

We Answered:

I remember when I went for an interview for a company the interviewer made checks on my school, college, there and then when I was there, and they also send out for references and may not take you on until they recieve them.

It really depends on the company and their employment policies.
