what a resume or cv should include
Your resume or cv should include:
Personal data:
- Name
- date of birth
- address
- zip code
- birth-place
- citizenship or nationality
- phone or mobile phone number
- civic state
Career goals: a concise statement indicating your career objectives is recommended.
Summary of Skills / Professional expertise: a concise statement of your strongest skills and areas of professional expertise can be an advantage to you, especially if you have a mix of experiences in your career history.
Education: one rule is that unless you are more than five years out of school, your education should come before your experience section. List the name of the institutions you attended with the most recent listed first.
Honours and awards: list any award or distinctions you have received and include a brief explanation of honours or awards. This section can be included within the education section or listed separately.
Professional or work experience: in a resume, work experience should be listed in reverse chronological order with the most recent experience listed first. Internships and volunteer experience can be considerer in this section if they relate to your professional goals or you can create a section called additional or related experience or community service.
Computer Skills: it is advisable to provide information about your computer skills
Languages: if you are fluent in several languages, list the languages you speak and write as follows: “fluent in French, proficient in Japanese, knowledgeable in Spanish”. Think carefully about your level of proficiency. Do not exaggerate your skills because you may be asked to demonstrate your language ability during an interview.
interests: one or two lines about your interests, hobbies or travels can sometimes add interesting information to the interview.
