5 Bonus Tips In Effective CV Writing
Bonus Tip # 1: Don’t include your “hobbies”.
Generally, It is not of any value to put in your hobbies on your CV. Otherwise, if it should be related and of relevance to the position applied for – then you may do so.
Bonus Tip # 2: Your CV is more about your accomplishments.
Most are mistaken of the idea that CVs are a plain listing of their work experiences – it is actually more than that. It provides for a record of your accomplishments that would show your capabilities and effectiveness to carry out the responsibilities of the current job aspired for.
Bonus Tip # 3: It should clearly tell what you could do for the prospective employer.
Even at a glance or a quick run over of your CV, the employer should be able to get the impression that you are qualified for the position and should be given a chance for a job interview. Your highlighting, organization and presentation plays a major role here.
Bonus Tip # 4: Make sure that it is free of spelling and grammatical errors.
To maintain the professional appeal of your CV, these errors should be avoided. Fancy fonts will take out its formal look and at worst cases, especially if not done tastefully, may look like an experiment of sorts.
Bonus Tip # 5: Be concise.
A two-page CV that is well organized and targeted will do the job effectively. You don’t need to stuff it with lots of unnecessary stuff. Doing so may just lose the focus of your CV and may provide cluttered information.
