What is the first thing

(most important) to do

when you want to write

a CV???

Write a General CV using the following

information.

Questions are welcome

SPM results 5 As, 5Bs

Presentation

The first thing is to research the company!!

Do you think it is a good question to ask;” What is the company core

business?”

Then you need to sell is to sell

yourself, to get the employee to pay

you to work for them.

He (or she) may have to read through 100

CVs in half an hour, and will have two piles

- 'possibles' and 'waste-bin'.

So yours must be easy to read, short

and attractive.

Using bullet points to minimise word

usage. Making it shorter, more readable,

more understandable

No grammatical or spelling error, of course

no U = you, luv = love, etc

Bold to emphasis

Make frequent use of active verbs, such as, achieved, set up, managed, responsible

for, led.

Make clear what your individual contribution was using positive language and include your responsibilities and achievements.

Back everything up with quantifiable facts, such as size of budgets and results achieved, to make your skills tangible.

Prepare one for yourself –Use it to fill in

the application form.

Don’t cheat, just to emphasis the correct

thing

• Personal Details

• Career Objective

• Education and Qualifications

• Work Experience

• Achievements

• Extra-Curricular Activities

• General Skills

• Etc, publication…..

Sample

Instead of Dear Sir, use the name

In a small company, it may be the

managing director. In a medium size

company, it may be the head of

section/department. Only in a large

company will there be a Personnel or

Human Resource Department.)

Start your letter with an underline heading giving the job title you are interested in. (If you saw the job advertised, say where you saw it.)

To begin, prepare a list of your key competencies and skills that your employer will be looking for. Be analytical about yourself and identify your main selling points that differentiate yourself from competitors

You need to succinctly emphasize why an

employer may want to meet and employ

you. Highlight your transferable skills,

achievements and versatility; what you can

contribute and what makes you different.

Mention personality traits relevant to the

role applied for

Close your letter with a polite expression of

interest in further dialogue with the

recruiter.

This is customized, so no sample.

Hahahaha.

Is SPM results important?

Race, marital status, religion important?
