A CV is a brief summary of your abilities, education, experience and skills. A CV has one purpose: to get you a job interview.

 

EDUCATION - usually means post-secondary and can include special seminars, summer school or night school as well as College and University. If you are just starting College, you can include high school as well.

SKILLS - list computer languages and software, foreign languages indicating fluency, teaching or tutoring, communication or leadership, among others. Match your skills and experience with your employers needs

 

Small tips:

1. Take care over the presentation of your CV

2. Concentrate on the essentials - a CV must be brief: in most cases, two pages are enough to show who and what you are. 

3. Adapt your CV to suit the post applied for - Systematically check your CV every time you want to send it to an employer to see if it corresponds to the profile required; highlight your advantages according to the specific requirements of the prospective employer. A good knowledge of the company will help you tailoring your CV to the appropriate profile.

 

4. Be clear and concise - Your profile must be appreciated by the potential employer after a few seconds reading

5. Have someone else read your CV on completion - Check your CV carefully once you have filled it in to remove any spelling mistakes and to ensure it is laid out clearly and logically
