jt2010:

, you post is spot on except this Very Lengthy Resume.. For an engineering in an oil and gas industry, a resume of 2 pages shows u lack quality experience because you are expected to list in your resume all projects and activities you have done during the course of your job.

a lengthy resume is only accepted when you are at the top of your career , which is why your CV should be interesting enough to get an invitation to talk more about your CV and elaborate further ,certain things on your CV , it is also a skill to be able to write concisely , short and straight to the point while capturing only crucial information

Santino1:

This is definitely inapplicable to resumes targeting the Swiss market. As a matter of fact, it is a requirement

I agree. I have been advised by professional recruiters to put a picture on my CV. But it has to be a professional picture, and not a fancy one, of course!

What is very important not to forget is contact information. And you objective should be the first thing the recruiter sees (it should be like a sentence or two that sells you the best)

Only in Nigeria picture is not a requirement, in many part of the world your resume is incomplete without a passport photograph. So i think the best option is to consider the culture and norm of the employer before deciding id passport photograph is necessary or not.

The world is for survival of the fittest. One has to add extra effort in everything he is doing.

This ain't true as far as America goes, you run the risk of a subtle discrimination if your picture is included in your resume. By including your picture, you're unknowingly answering some questions employers want to know but can't ask due to its illegality.

Also, prepare your resume to target specific employers. Don't use the same resume for different types of jobs, use keywords to tailor your resume in such a way that it matches the job you're applying for.

Minor achievements like primary school education is a No No. Makes u look like a baby

Dalu uzor: thank u so much for d free info, but pls, hw do i title my resume (CV)?

job objective:,experience: you must put date to each of ur experience, skills:, personal profile:, educational institutional attended wit dates:,educational certificates obtained wit dates:,professional certificates obtained wit dates:,professional affiliations:, research work:, computer knowledge:,personal data:,hobbies:, names of referees with their numbers,works and locations. All the titles must b in a bold capital letters. For ur cv 2 accomodate all these titles ,u must self train urself, devote ur time, spend ur money and energy. Finally pray 2 God. Sooner than later u will see urself on d top of that ur dream job. Load urself urself wit good skills so that you wil b a hot cake employee to b employed by d prospective employers

To add on the list
9. Listing your mother tongue in the Languages spoken section
Spare this to yourself. Unless the advert ask you to list the languages you can speak, do not include it on your CV.

10. Format- Having tables with columns on the CV
These are simply not attractive and make the hiring manager struggle to read your work or connect sentences. A continuous prose is better to read through.

Depends on your organisation. I actually have one with 'invisible' tables. It's all up to the way you use the editor to make it presentable.
