Preparing CV (curriculum vitae)
1. Answer the questions before reading the text.
a. What do you know about CVs?
b. Have you ever written a CV?
2. Read the text. Why do you think a cv is so important in the application process?
"What do you have to offer?" is the question that all employers want you to answer whether you are looking for your first professional job or changing careers. Your answer is your CV that should convince the employer to invite you for an interview.
A resume is a document which summarizes your qualifications for the job. Employers generally spend less than a minute to scan a resume. Thus, the resume should be short enough to be read in a moment but long enough to include all pertinent information.
Almost every resume has the following basic sections:
1. Personal details. Under this heading include your full legal name, the address, the zip code and your phone number.
2. Job and career objectives. The objective briefly describes the type of work desired, the type of place where you want to work, and short- or long-term professional goals.
3. Education. The information includes your degree, institution, its location, the dates of attendance and graduation listed in reverse chronological order. You may also include any other institutions you attended beyond the high-school level, any special certificates or short-term training provided by companies. In listing courses, be selective and choose those that will be of interest to your reader.
4. Employment (or Work Experience). Under this heading, list all jobs held full- or part-time or summer work, including company's name and location, and the positions you held.
5. Hobbies, Activities, Sports, Awards, Minors, Skills, Membership, Publications, Presentations, Patterns. These sections are optional, and if included, should be listed either separately or grouped together, e.g. Honors and Awards, Interests and Hobbies, Activities and Membership.
6. Personal Information (or Personal Data). You will have to determine whether listing such personal details as height, weight, health, marital status, religion, national origin, etc., will enhance your chances for a job. However, most CVs today include none of these items because such personal information is considered irrelevant to a person's ability.
7. References. There are two main approaches to this section of the resume:
a) writing "Available (up)on request" at the end of the page;
b) listing names, addresses, and phone numbers at the end of the resume.
The first option is usually best.
3. Study the text and find answers to the following questions.
In which situations do you need a CV?
What function does a CV fulfill?
How long should a CV be and why?
What are its parts?
What do you start your resume with?
Do you write the job objective to meet your own or employer's needs?
What is more important on a resume - its content or its visual design?
