Personnel departments are usually involved in finding new staff and recruiting them.

Recruitment is the process of employing new people. This process will vary from one organization to another.

When a company needs to recruit or employ new staff, it may advertise the vacancy in newspapers, or may contact an employment agency, a private company that matches jobseekers with jobs. Companies looking for senior staff may approach people working for another company, a practice known as headhunting. Headhunters are specialist consultants who search for high-level executives and try to persuade them to leave their current job in order to go to work in another company. Executives may be persuaded to move company by the promise of a golden hello: a large sum of money or some other financial enticement offered by the company they move to.

If you are a jobseeker (a person who is looking for a job) and you are interested in a particular post, you may decide to apply for the job. The first step is to get an application form and a job description from the company. The next step is to complete the form and return it with your curriculum vitae (CV, BrE) or resume (AmE), which is a summary of your work history, education and skills. You should also send a covering letter, supporting your CV. By doing this you have become an applicant. The company's Human Resources department will select the most suitable applicants and invite them to attend an interview.

If you are looking for a job, then it is very important that you understand how to offer yourself in the best way to an employer. This is done by writing a “CV” (curriculum vitae- Latin for “ life story”), called in some counties a ‘resume’.

The purpose of your CV is not to get you the job. It’s purpose is to get a job interview.

Remember: you are not writing a CV for yourself, you are writing it for the reader. So, put yourself in the shoes of the intended reader.

He or she may have to read through several hundred CVs in half an hour about a job and will only choose a few people who appear suitable for interview. The person should present himself as good as he can make it.

Your curriculum vitae must persuade that you are an ideal applicant for the job, you possess the right skills, experience, behavior, attitude, morality that the employer is seeking.

GENERAL ADVICE

There are many ways to design a CV, but there is no universally accepted format. Try to follow these principles:

• The document should contain no more than 2 pages. (Use the second page if you have a lot of relevant work experience or qualification).

• Print your CV on good quality white paper. (Size A 4). Make wide margins.

• Do not use lots of different types and size. (You are not designing a magazine cover!)

• Use bold (Bold) or italics (Italics) to emphasize important words. (For headings)

• Keep your sentences short and simple.

• Resume’ should be honest and factual.

• Check for spelling and typographical mistakes. (Whoever types your CV, errors are YOUR responsibility)

WHAT TO INCLUDE

The most common contents of a CV include such typical sections as:

• Name

• Address, telephone, e-mail

• ‘Resume’ objective

• Education

• Work experience

• Other skills

• Personal details

Name, address, telephone, e-mail

Your name, home address, phone (fax) number, e-mail address, date of birth should be at the top of your ‘resume’.

Resume’ objective

It can be good to start with an Objective statement. This is a two or three sentence overview of your skills, qualities, hopes, and plans.

It should encourage the employer to read the rest.

Education

Give places of education where you have studied in reverse chronological order .

Create two columns.

Use the left-hand column for the dates.

In the right-hand column, list the name of educational establishments on one line , the course name or the degrees.

Include additional courses (language courses), specific training programs you have taken. It should add value to your CV.

Work experience

It’s a compact summary of your career history. Start with your current or most recent job first, including the following information:

Dates: point out them from/to in years only.

Organization and location: write the name of company (in bold) and its location (city or town name).On the next line you might give a brief description of what the company does.

Job title: give a title for your job, and very important, what you actually did,(and perhaps a department name). Mention the principal tasks and responsibilities of your role.

Achievements: focus on what you actually achieved in that job. Give them in short, impressive, relevant statements. Describing your achievements use positive «action verbs» (for example: coordinated, developed, established, analyzed, organized, improved, supervised, increased, proposed, solved, evaluated, negotiated, introduced, promoted, maintained, planned, trained, etc.)

There is no need to provide salary details or reasons for leaving on your CV.

Other skills

If you have other skills or qualifications which you believe may be relevant, you can list:

ability in other languages, computing experience (typing speed), or possession of a driving license

Personal details

A section at the end of your ‘resume’ may include information about:

- Nationality;

- Marital status (data about spouses and number of children are not obligatory);

- Interests ( main hobbies and interests.
