How to write a CV

I learned these tips when I registered at Bulldog Recruitment Agency.

Two things, first, your CV should have a cover page that would give the reader clear idea of what actually you can do. For example you don't simply say that you know how to use Excel program but rather you must specify what actually you can do in using Excel, e.g. Can create table with appropriate cell size; Can use mathematical formula in a spreadsheet; Can merge cells together; Can wrap texts in a cell; Can export a spreadsheet to another program etc.

Second, Your CV should tell a story, i.e. the reader can actually visualize you on each stage of your student or working life. Not all of us were 'top-nochers' when we were students but all of us have at some points or another our own moments of glory, e.g. maybe you were elected as the class Sgt at Arm when you were in high school or maybe you were a recipient of the Most Punctual Award for having a 101 percent class attendance.

When I started following these techniques my stats for being short listed for job interviews had improved significantly.
