Here are some powerful CV writing tips that will help you get in the door of an interviewer:
- Before you start writing your CV gather all the necessary information that you’ll need, such as like your dates of employment, maybe the years you went to school / college and dates of the additional courses that you have completed. Once you have gathered all the information decide on a CV template or format that works best for you.
- Once you have decided on the best template/format you can sit down to write your CV. Before you actually start writing your CV, spend some time planning and thinking how you'll present yourself. Look for a clear career objective and why do you want a particular job. Based on the outline start writing the CV.
- Choose to write your CV in bullet format rather than long and boring paragraphs.
- Once you have finalized the content and format of your CV, use it with the content provided in a CV template that you can download. CV templates can give you a really good idea of how to write a CV and can add a professional touch. CV templates can be especially beneficial for inexperienced writers.
- Thoroughly review, edit and proofread your CV. There should be no grammatical errors or typos in the CV. These may sound like small issues to you but an employer may get the impression that you are careless and may question your ability to carry out any task.
- Before you are all set to post your CV get someone else to read it and point out the mistakes if any. This can help you catch simple errors and even add certain things that you probably would have missed.
