Shinor: [b]I have come across a great number of CV's in the course of my work and my reaction sometimes after perusing some copies has been " What on earth is this'? I wonder what was going through the candidate's mind as they put together that CV. Many are yet to understand the traditional role of a CV. It is simply the primary document a would be employer or agency consults to assess your eligibility for a position. The employer reads through your work and education history for any experience or skills that you may possess which will help you perform your role and then makes a decision whether to call your for an interview or not.
Unfortunately if there are question marks in any area of your CV, the decision is made without giving you an opportunity to explain. In other words you are judged based on what your CV said.
Therefore it is imperative to ensure that your CV is always saying the right things about you.
For more details on what should be on a CV, read my next article on CV's to be published subsequently.

It is funny how something that seem so easy to write can be so complicated to prepare, for this is the nature of a CV when view from the angle of an applicant after being screened by an interviewer. A CV is the first document an employer looks at when screening the application of an applicant, and this so simple document have being the “Hercules heel” of most applicant because of lack of professionalism in preparing their CV.

As we all know a CV is suppose to contain a detail breakdown of our educational background, qualification attained, work experience, personal biography, work history etc, that are the basic necessary detail needed to create a CV. what most people don’t know is that the CV must be tailored to the standard, operation type and employment requirement of what the company needs in terms of the position they are advertising, because the qualification a CV presents that is not align with their needs will not be considered.

1. In a case like this you must look closely at the advertisement to know what they need so as to give you the right idea on what to present.

2. Always use an easy to read font such as 10-12 Arial or the one they want if it’s indicated by the company, which in most case they rarely do.

3. Your CV should be less than 1-3 pages to avoid putting unnecessary data that will turn off your employer.

4. Let your layout be consistent throughout the document to avoid unprofessionalism and improper arrangement.

5. Let every data you type be easy to read especially your contact detail.

6. You must make your spelling and grammar accurate to avoid being misunderstood when your application is read and don’t ever use jargons or abbreviation because they will be misunderstood.

7. Never leave out the prominent information about you, let them be at prominent position that can be easily be read.

8. When writing points about you be careful not to blow it out of proportion with too much exaggeration. Just make it precise with a sense of confidence.

9. In the aspect of arrangement, you can use a CV format that can guide you on how to place the information appropriately and neat.

10. As a last resort, you can give your already written CV to a professional to either view for editing or indicate area of errors for you to make improvement.

Some of the responses that have recently been posted here are not the opinion of the original poster.
One thing I continually emphasise is the use of the right tenses and correct spellings. I would want to believe that if anyone seeks to advice job seekers on writing their CV's at least the tenses and words should be correct.
