Home CV Advice


A ‘Curriculum Vitae’ literally meaning the ‘Course of Life’, is the first official document that conveys ample information overtly and covertly about a candidate to the Human Resource Department of the concerned employer organization. A Curriculum Vitae ( CV ) plays a pivotal role in getting a job in any sector, and at every stage of a career. In addition to outlining your life and experiences to date, your CV is an elegant marketing tool to demonstrate your suitability for the job in question.

The following key tips should be solemnly considered while making a CV / Resume for it being impeccably impressive, from every angle----

1. Recheck the basics—Proofread for spelling, grammar, and tone, and ensure that you have followed all the instructions of the employer scrupulously. Firing off an e-mail is a convenient and striking method of communication.
2. All your contact information like Name, address, telephone, e-mail address, web site address should be placed at the top of your resume. Use a simple, easy-to-read font.
3. Organize all the requisite information in a logical fashion and keep descriptions lapidary and to the point. A resume having clumsy format and design, and awkward and irrelevant contents, is certain to be put aside with disgust in spite of candidate’s greater caliber, erudition, and experience----- returning the candidate meager response.
4. Stay above the trivia---- don’t waste space on minor skills and repetitions from the distance past.
5. Include as much work experience as possible, even if it obviously doesn't relate to the job you are seeking.
6. Quantify and use appropriate power words. Create content that touches impressively and sells.
7. Focus on your strengths and assets.
8. Create the image suitable to the salary you like.
9. Identify and solve employer’s hidden needs.
10. Enclose an elegant, impressive cover letter.
