Writing a Resume

Before Starting to Write

• There are certain things that you should keep in mind before you start writing your resume.
• There are different websites providing resume tips and sample templates 
• The information on all these resume websites is not authentic. You cannot just blindly refer any of these websites and start writing your CV 
• Make sufficient research and see whether the information provided on the website you are referring is correct or not. Whether it provides necessary resume samples and related templates for designing your CV? Keeping all these things in mind will help you in providing relevant content. 
• Depending on the job profile you are applying for, you need to choose an appropriate sample or template 
• Different jobs need resumes written in different formats. Hence, you cannot refer a medical resume for writing an engineering CV 
• Look for the appropriate sample and see how the information is placed in respective sections. 

 

 

Start writing your CV

• Once you have decided the format or template for designing your CV, you can start presenting your details
• If you are referring a sample CV, you can write all your existing skills, qualifications, accomplishments and experiences on a rough paper 
• Now you can go through the sample and see which of your details match the prospective job profile 
• Do not list all your details in the CV and make it lengthier. Include the information that is most relevant to the applied job 
• Format of CV is most important in providing it an attractive look. Chronological one is best for writing the CV for experienced candidates. If you are a fresher, you need to focus on your key skills section. In this case, you can use the functional format for writing your CV 
• The information presented in your CV should be clear and precise and should reflect the knowledge and personality of the applicant 
• Make sure to maintain the length of your CV and do not let it exceed two pages
• The language used should be formal and hold the interest of the employer in reading the resume completely 
• Once you complete writing your CV, go through it at least twice to avoid any grammatical or typographic errors 
• Use a plain A4 size paper for your CV 
• You can also have a cover letter to send along with your CV. This will show your interest in the position. Even if it is not demanded by the employer, it will not affect your selection if you send it
