You really should find a grad who has done one so you can work off theirs. They are very long, detailed and complicated.
you will find formats of CV in many websites like monster.com or naukri.com. If you are fresher and applying for job then give emphasize on your education qualification and extra curricular acitvities that you have done.
If you pop into your local job centre they should have someone you can sit down and go through it with.
If you are applying for a job in an EU country, download the standart CV form from the link below-> Even if you are not, it can help you! Good luck!
Don't get into to much of details Just make a basic resume that have all necessary details. as someone with no experience it almost does not matter at all. Once you have experience it becomes very important how you present or portray or design your Cussiculam vitae Make sure no grammatical errors and spelling mistakes, they just inconvenience and an opportunity to set out to explore you weaknesses and negate your candidature. I tried my best to answer you as an authority in recruitment! Cheers!
As an employer nothing aggravates me more than looking at CV's that are obviously from a template. A brief CV is better outlining your strengths, previous experience, salary and reasons for moving jobs. Very brief personal info but don't go into too much detail about your hobbies especially if one of them is "socialising". A strong well written accompanying letter expanding on your strengths and suitability for the position is a strong plus in my book. Always spell check !
What Makes a Good CV? As a brief guideline: * Keep it simple, uncluttered and in an easy-to-read font (on plain white A4 paper). * Keep it free from unnecessary details (e.g.: don't write lines upon lines for your interests!) * Keep it free from spelling/grammatical errors - maybe ask someone to proof read it. * Check your personal details - sound obvious but it does happen (wrong phone number etc). * If you have a job spec - match your CV to this to ensure you have included relevant skills. * Believe it or not - there is no perfect CV. Just concentrate on making use of the kind of CV design that suits you best - chronological, functional or a combination of the two. ...but what should my CV include? * Education details - you don't need to include all your qualifications from 10 years ago. State your most recent qualifications and briefly cover older, less relevant ones * Work experience: most recent first and go backwards; unless using a functional CV * Key skills/areas of expertise: such as IT skills or languages * Extra-curricular activities if relevant to job being applied for!! * It would be ideal to include your mobile telephone number. There is a good chance you could miss a call if not at home. Also, and again, this sounds obvious - make sure you have a professional message on your answer phone - you never know who could call! * When emailing your CV, please take your email address into consideration. We regularly see CVs with email addresses along the lines of "lovedoctor@emailaddress.com" or "sexylady123@sillyemail.co.uk" - this will not help present a professional reflection of you. Consider obtaining a free email account from Hotmail or Yahoo and keep job application emails separate from personal email. * If you are sending your CV by post, ensure you use an A4 envelope and do not fold your CV - by the time it gets to it's destination it could look a mess.
