For most people, writing a good CV is tough, and it takes time<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The worst part comes when you think you\u2019ve finally got a great CV, but you\u2019re still not getting any interviews.<\/p>\n

Wouldn\u2019t it be great if you could find a way to create a CV that would get you an interview almost EVERY time?<\/p>\n

Is it possible?<\/b><\/p>\n

It is if you follow the tips I\u2019m about to share with you.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll prove useful no matter if you have no experience and want to write your first CV, or if you\u2019re a professional who wants to know how to write a CV that stands out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0There are three types of professional CV formats:<\/p>\n

Reverse-chronological<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Combination<\/li>\n
  2. Functional or \u201cSkills-based CV\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Most job seekers choose the\u00a0reverse-chronological\u00a0<\/b>CV format.<\/p>\n

    Here\u2019s what a sample CV looks like when it\u2019s written in the reverse-chronological format. We created it in our CV builder (you can make your CV here<\/a>):<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    1. What does a CV look like?\"resume<\/b><\/p>\n

    a) CV Summary or Objective<\/p>\n

    2. What to put on a CV?<\/p>\n

    What about the other two formats?<\/p>\n

    Combination Format<\/p>\n

    Who\u2019s it for? Highly skilled professionals with tons of skills and experience.<\/p>\n

    What is it? A format for those who want to build a skills-oriented CV.<\/p>\n

    Functional Format<\/p>\n

    Who\u2019s it for? No one.<\/p>\n

    Why?<\/p>\n

    The layout emphasizes your skills rather than your experience.<\/p>\n

    The downside?<\/p>\n

    Your skills are not reinforced by the proof of your experience.<\/p>\n

    Well, you know that contact information comes first. But what\u2019s next?<\/p>\n

    The best way to start any killer CV is by introducing yourself.<\/p>\n

    Recruiters are looking for very specific information, and they\u2019re only going to look for it in the top third of your CV. If you don\u2019t nail it \u2013 game over.<\/p>\n

    That\u2019s why a creative CV summary or objective can save the day<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
