Information that a resume should contain
Below is a list of parties that may appear on your CV. The parties that you choose as well as its agenda depends on your CV.
How to choose the right type of resume?
It all depends on your experience and career paths.
- If you want to focus on your career progression, you can choose a chronological resume. It represents a list of job from newest to oldest.
- If you want to focus on your professional achievements by area, you can choose the CV functional. It allows you to develop your skills and competencies.
- If you want to focus on your skills, you can choose the resume skills. It highlights the importance of your knowledge
You can also choose a CV joint, ie a chronological resume with the first part is
a summary of accomplishments. In short, take the time to think carefully before
choosing CV that suits you best.
Example: If you have real skills, but
very little experience, it may be better for you to use a resume jurisdiction.
On the other hand, if you have a nice career progression, a chronological resume
is perfect for you. And if you are a person where you have achieved significant
accomplishments, a resume running you will value. Check your library, there are
many books on this subject that will guide you.
It is wrong to believe
that it would take several versions of your resume. Concentrate your efforts
instead to the editor of one, which is excellent and up to date. (The specific
to each potential employer should be reflected more in the letter of presentation)
After the interview, you could send a letter of thanks
And, only after you have signed the contract of your new job, you can write your
resignation letter and send it to your "new old boss".
