Curriculum Vitae / Resume step by step

Personal details

  • Write your name and your surname, the address where you could be contacted, your telephone number and your email address.
  • It is a habit to give also your date of birth, possibly your nationality. Sometimes a marital status and a number of children is mentioned as well in a CV. However, these details are not obligatory, so that you do not have to mention them if you do not want to.
  • By no means write anything about your parents and siblings, do not give any information about their education or professional career: CV concerns just you. Avoid giving information like "In 1993 our gorgeous twins were born".

Education

  • Give the highest education acquired: the name of the institution, the field of study, the acquired title and the year of graduation.
  • Then list the other forms of education you attended. Always give the names of the institutions which provided the education, its duration and also if the education was finished by an exam or not.
  • If your education is not finished yet, give expected end of your studies.
  • This section can be also put to the place after the section "Practice". The newly-graduated should always put "Education" before "Practice" section.

Practice / practical experience

  • This is one of the most important parts of any CV. Put your work positions in order chronologically from the newest to the oldest.
  • Add the name of the company to each of your employers listed and also the name of your work position there. Give the year when you started the respective job and when you finished.
  • Describe your function on each position listed.
  • CV will look much better if you mention some particular details, as for example: number of people in a team, the height of savings, achieved turnover from your sale, a number of customers acquired, a rise of profit in per cents, ...

Other skills

  • In this section you should sum up your skills and knowledge of language and the others. You can also mention some personal characteristics. Choose those that your future employer would find interesting and useful.
  • List some other important work activities you were successful in, educational stays abroad or conferences and meetings you took part in, scientific works and works published, different awards, but you can also mention your hobbies if it could be somehow interesting for the new employer.
