3 Types of Resume

HOW TO CREATE A SUCCESSFUL CV - RESUME TEMPLATE

Your CV is a brochure, not an autobiography. Its purpose is to help you in the process of finding a new job by selling your skills and experience to the right person.

A lot of places around the world call it A Curriculum Vitae (CV), in United States, it's a Résumé. This is definitely one of the most important tools that any jobseeker has at their disposal. You may be THE best candidate for a particular job by a long way, however, if you don't make it to the interview stages the company will never know.


We live in a time in which we are all increasingly responsible for the development of our own careers. In the changing world of work, our CV is our passport to new opportunities, and consequently it is the most important career document we ever produce. There is no "right way" to create a perfect CV – we are all individuals and our CVs will all be different. Creating a Successful CV helps us to identify our uniqueness and guides us through planning, creating, and using our CV. It will cause you to think about your attributes as a person, your skills as a professional, and your hopes for the future.

What is a CV?

Curriculum vitae (literally, "the course of one's life"), or "CV".  Its purpose is to provide sufficient information for prospective employers (or their agents) to register interest in you. There is more than one type of CV, and you need to decide which is the most appropriate for you. Your aim is to produce a CV that gets you to the next stage of the recruitment process: this may be an informal meeting or a telephone interview, or you may be sent an application form or called to a formal interview.

3 TYPES OF CV


The principal role of your CV is to highlight your value to a potential employer, and to do that you have to promote yourself. A document that is just a career summary will not sell the attributes and skills you have to offer. So your CV needs to be a selling document – think of it as your career brochure. If you consider brochures you find appealing, they will be the ones that are well laid out, succinct, and easy to understand. Your CV should beexactly the same. If it is clearly presented and 100 per cent error free, this will say a lot about your motivation and focus.
Type Use
One-page summary - Summarizes your career and displays your track record. Most effective for senior managers or those looking for freelance or temporary work. May be specifically requested by headhunters or employers.
Chronological - Lists your employment history in reverse chronological order. Most effective when you are applying for jobs in the same line of work and your CV demonstrates a clear record of career progression.
Functional - Highlights your principal skills and strengths rather than career history. Most useful for first-time job hunters and those seeking a change of career direction, as the emphasis is not on career history but on transferable skills.

How to write a dissertation - writting a successful thesis

How to write a successful thesis or dissertation The selection of a suitable topic is the first major step in writing a thesis or dissertation. For some students this is an easy task. They have known what they wanted to study from the time they entered college and perhaps even before, but for many others, selecting a thesis or dissertation topic is one of the most difficult parts of their graduate programs. The thought of developing a “completely original” idea for such a large-scale project may seem overwhelming to them. The notion that a dissertation must be completely original is a misconception, for no research is completely original. All research is based on the work of others to some extent. In fact, the most useful kind of research simply builds on research that has already been done. Some of the most successful theses and dissertations simply extend the knowledge base one step further in an area by examining a new variable within a well-established line of inqu...
