Preparing
your resume
On
the Internet usually the CV’s are send via e-mail to respective
companies, but it is still important that you carry a copy
along with you during your preliminary interview.
1. Use good
quality paper for your CV’s. After all you are describing
your years of hard-earned education and experience. Always
value yourself.
2. Never send
a badly duplicated photocopy of your CV. Even if you have
to send a photocopy ideally use a good copier and executive
bond paper or other similar quality.
3. Always remember
to put your telephone no. If possible give an alternate number
of your pager/mobile or email no
4. The section
you should describe most is your work experience. Ideally
give your job responsibilities point wise with sub headings.
This would help to describe the matter briefly as well as
to the point.
5. Ideally restrict
your CV to not more than three pages. After all you should
have some matter to talk about during your interview.
6. Check for
spelling errors and grammatical mistake before you take a
final copy of your CV as even a small error could cause an
embarrassing situation for you.
7. Remember
to mention any awards / promotion or other recognition earned
by you in your previous work experience.
8. If you are
a fresher than stress more on your education section and also
mention other additional qualification in detail. Give a brief
description about projects and extra curricular activities
undertaken by you.
9. Include sections
like languages know, hobbies and interests, extra curricular
activities, your positive points in brief.
10. Remember
to include the exact time spent in each company supported
by dates. Also give dates of completing each degree.
11. Some companies
do ask for photographs so carry at least two-passport size
photograph just in case you are asked to submit them.
12. Select a
simple font with appropriate font size to give clarity and
legibility to your precious CV.
