The importance of making CV

 In modern times, making a CV is very important, especially for applying for a job. This time we will learn to write an easy and simple CV

 

First, we need to recognise what a CV is

1.Definition of CV

the term CV is an abbreviation of the Latin word Curriculum Vitae, which is literally translated to “the course of your life”. 

A CV is a very in-depth document that describes your career journey step-by-step, including all sorts of personal information. You can look at the CV as a comprehensive description of everything you have ever done, all the achievements you are proud of, and all the publications that bear your name.

You need to update your CV every time you accomplish something new academically or professionally. Meaning, whenever you get a new job, publish something new, obtain a new certificate, and so on.

There is no rule of thumb on how long a CV should be - depending on the amount of experience, it can range from 2 to 8 pages.

 

2. The aims of CV

Essentially, a CV is designed to summarise all your academic, professional and personal (where relevant) achievements in order to entice or interest a hiring manager when applying for a new job opportunity.


3. Sentence and Expression in CV

a) CV in a sentence
• Applicants are asked to send in a CV and a covering letter.
• Please send a full CV, quoting the appropriate reference.
• Check the accuracy of everything in your CV.
• Send them a copy of your CV.
• Send your CV with a covering letter.
• Send a full CV with your job application.
b) To avoid using empty words and phrases in your CV, the STAR technique can help you to tell your story in a more compelling way. Commonly used in interviews, STAR stands for:
• Situation: What was the situation or challenge you faced?
• Task: What was the task you needed to accomplish?
• Action: Which specific actions did you take to deal with the situation or challenge?
• Result: What was the outcome you reached or the result you achieved?
