Content And Structure Of An Outstanding CV

Option 1 for the English CV: reverse chronological order

This means you start with your current activities and work your way back into the past (see example on resume-resource.com ). The arrangement of the sections, so as Education or Professional Experience is variable.

The “reverse chronological” CV makes sense if your Berufweg proceeded linearly, ie without major breaks or fractures.

Entrants should the section Education put in first place, to emphasize the recent study section. 

Less is more. Limit yourself to the information that is relevant for the company.

Particularly important are the successes that you could previously recorded.

Option 2: functional English CV

Have you worked in several positions with a similar object field, which provides “functional” resume (see example on resume-resource.com ). They allow you to emphasize different skills by you split your skills in different categories. Gaps or vary your posture can be dubbed with this version.

Version 3 of the CV in English: combined

The third option is a mixture of the first two variants: the “combined” CV (see example on docstoc.com ). They allow you to initially emphasize your job-related knowledge and skills and then perform your work experience chronologically.

CV, Resume, Curriculum Vitae?

Like your resume is, depends on whether you wrote it in the UK or the US and what purpose ( “normal” application or for academic purposes) it serves:

• UK: Curriculum Vitae
• USA: (Personal) Resume (also Résuméwritten). Exception: academic applications. There’s Curriculum Vitae, CVor Vita.

Long

• UK: 1-2 pages
• USA: Resume: A side; Curriculum Vitae / CV / Vita: Since the academic CV includes publications and scientific awards, he may be quiet for longer than a page.

heading

• United Kingdom: “Curriculum Vitae”
• USA: The CV does not receive title. From your “personal details” (see next section), you create a custom page header.

Photo and personal data: Personal Details

• First and Last Name
• Address / Phone / Mobile / E-mail address
• Renounce photo, information on age, marital status, religion and origin. Background are the strict laws against discrimination.

  CV – 3 new tools with which you create it can

  A current resume you always need when you’re on the job hunt. And it would be best if he good – if not impressive – looks! I have made myself on the search for the latest tools, with which one can create his resume.Three, I will introduce you briefly:

  Three new tools to help you create your CV can

  sumry – interactively, looks good, useful tracking
  What occurred to me was the first to – cooler CV! It is a mixture of the old-fashioned paper resume as we know it and portfolio pages such asDribbble or Behance. But the best is: you can apply from the program via email and will be informed immediately if the recipient of your application it is open!Bewerbungs tracking! (Times the other way around, no applicant tracking). We know, at least, whether the application has been received and has anyone noticed. And when you see that it was not open and you get a standard rejection, it is at least not so depressing.If the recruiter had opened the application, they would have him like it! 😉 For sumry there is a free version (the branding of the company sumry then remains to be seen). If you want to get rid of the branding and more features want, you can charge upgrade to a different version.

  represent.io – styles, PDF Download, tracking
  represent.io is also a tool with which you can create a digital resume. At first glance, the CV shown as an example looks now not as impressive. But there are some compelling facts: One can different designschoose, you can his resume also download a PDF and there is a tracking ability. This means that you can see exactly how many times your resume is viewed and clicked it was. This tool is generally chargeable.

  resumonk– classic, several variants are possible
  Here you get a few templates for pretty standard-looking resumes. Could be useful if you have a standard CV needs. Basically, this tool is free. But you have to pay something to get rid of the branding resumonk. On something unfortunately often leads it only when one is in the process of creating already in the middle. Either one can be the logo simply it or you paid for it to remove it.
  (Why the company would like to have their branding on your CV? You for sending him to many companies and maybe even friends, so you spread your brand and make almost a bit of advertising for her.)

  Here are a few tips, how to a make modern CV can (interactive, social,…). For example, describes what font you use it.

  And if you a looking for job at a startup, then check startup.me perhaps quite practical: So you can your send the same resume to several startups. startupjob.me sees your resume to, evaluated him and sends him as in a newsletter startups that are just looking for employees.

  Wait! Before you abschickst your CV, could you feedback from others get to, namely crowdvit.ae. You upload your CV here and others can tell you their opinion. The system is based on reciprocity. The more resumes you watch and rate this, the more often your resume is looked uponand you get more feedback. It is also a convenient way to see how other make their resumes. Perhaps one can abschauen something is yes!
