CV / Resume writing tips
As a
recruitment consultant much of my time is spent
providing people CV / Resume writing tips to improve the performance of
their CV / Resume.
In terms of reading CVs and Resumes I really have
seen the Good the Bad and the downright Ugly!
The purpose of this and the following pages is to
provide you a Free Resume / CV Writing Guide.
Using my experience of what I know works
to help you avoid the mistakes that can
prevent
even the most qualified and capable of person from getting the
interview.
Define Resume / Define Curriculum Vitae
Before we get into the detail of building your CV or Resume, it is
worth taking a moment to explain the differences between a Curriculum
Vitae and a Resume.
It’s my personal view that for job hunting, a CV
and Resume have
become interchangeable, and I don’t want to get bogged down in the
detail.
I simply want you to have a Resume / CV that best describes
your ability to fill a defined role, so well it compels
the reader to offer you an interview!
Just for the record - to define
Curriculum Vitae - Curriculum vitae is Latin meaning "course
of life", and thankfully is mostly shortened to CV.
Resume
is French for Summary, and if you where to ask the difference, a CV
would provide more detail and would be slightly longer than a resume.
However whatever you chose to call the document
its purpose is to compel the reader to grant you an interview.
