While searching for a job, the first and the foremost thing which is required is a CV ie, Curriculum Vitae. A CV is the first thing which provides the first insight to the employee about a job seeker. Let me made this thing very clear to the job seeker that if you are really looking for a good job than your CV should be updated and proper. Here are the few guidelines to be kept in mind while preparing a CV:
Contact details should be clearly mentioned at the top of
the CV. Recruiter should not have to strain his eyes to find these details.
Contact number should belong to you directly not to any of your family members.
Email Id: Do not keep any absurd email id as I saw most of the
recruiter judging a candidate by their email Id only. Nicknames, absurd words,
flamboyance words are strictly prohibited while choosing an email id.
Do not forget to
mention your location and the preferred one, if there is any.
Job Status: Start with mentioning your current job
status and the profile. It holds less importance what you have done few years
back. So current job responsibilities should top your CV.
Do not try to copy
paste the job
responsibilities. Mention only those points which you are good at or have
knowledge about. Faking about job responsibilities will only raise unnecessary
questions or can may result in lowering your confidence level.
Others details
like educational
qualifications, project details, IT skills should be clearly
mentioned. Do mention the years as at times educational qualification is the
first criteria for the selection of candidates.
There is not need
to mention your hobbies, your childhood achievements, and some certificates
that you got in your school. What you have done in your school, or whether you
love reading or going for boating that hardly hold any importance until you are
applying for a sportsperson job.
Simple
language: Language used in your CV should be simple and precise. There is no
need to use complicated words for whose meanings one has to use dictionary.
Use appropriate font and text size.
Heading and subheadings should be mention in bold. Do not try to highlight
anything by using different background colors.
Company
profile: What is the profile of your recent company, whether it is a
manufacturing unit or an MNC into services, you should write a brief about its
profile. It enables the recruiter from the parallel company to trace your
profile and easily find your profile through the key words.
Once you are ready
with a good CV then the next things is uploading them on the job sites and
start your search for the job
