CV Maker - Frequently asked questions
What does a CV stand for?
CV stands for an official document that helps you find a job by presenting your information in a clear and easily-readable form. It is your first line of contact with a potential employer, it represents you. It’s worth making sure it’s complete and well-organised.
Nowadays it’s more common to use the abbreviation CV rather than its full form – Curriculum Vitae. Why? Simply because it’s easier, and faster, plus the pronunciation of the full form might be troublesome.
What’s the purpose of a CV?
A CV can be used in two main situations:
- The first purpose of a CV, which is the most common, a job application. In its latest, most expected by recruiters form, is a one-page CV, maximum two-page long document that outlines the professional profile of a jobseeker. It includes information such as:
- personal statement
- contact details
- work experience
- a list of CV skills
- education
- The second CV meaning is the academic Curriculum Vitae. This document seemingly provides the same information, including the personal statement, contacts, experience, skills and education, however, it also covers the following:
- academic achievements
- contributions to conferences
- titles of all the person’s academic work, including papers, publications, books etc.
As you can imagine, because it contains so many details, it is often quite long. An academic CV of an accomplished scientist sometimes can be even dozens of pages long.
What to put on a CV?
While it may vary in format and layout, a standard Curriculum Vitae definition says it usually includes the following sections:
- Contact details. Although this seems obvious, it still happens that some people forget to include residential address in their CV form. Apart from this, you should also include your e-mail address, telephone number and, if you have one, a link to your professional portfolio.
- Personal statement. Also called a professional summary, it is a short description of your career profile. It can help the employer to get a better understanding of your goals. In these 3-4 sentences long personal statement, cover what best highlights your expertise and personality. This could be work experience, skills worth mentioning, or achievements.
- Work experience. What is a CV if not a description of your experiences. Include dates of employment, the job title, name of the company and its location. It is a great move to include duties performed or accomplishments: simply list them under the job entry.
- Skills. Skills are what makes you unique. You can consider dividing them into soft and hard skills. If you are not sure what skills to include, you can review CV examples of similar jobs to check what skills are in demand.
- Education. Provide information about your educational background. Include those most relevant to the role you are applying for. If you have received additional training relevant to the role – this is the place to mention it.
What makes a good CV?
A good CV is one that matches the role you are applying for. There are dozens of different formats, templates, and designs available, and while all of these are important, they must go hand in hand with well-written content.
Check out our tips for making a CV that works:
- Include relevant, accurate information. It is said that everyone lies their CV “just a little bit”. Avoid it, your potential employer can easily verify any information you provide. It’s not worth the risk.
- Make sure your document includes everything it should. Describe your abilities using the vocabulary used in the job ad you’re replying to. If the employer values time management, don’t say you’re punctual. Instead say that you have good time management skills.
- Check if your CV looks professional and is easy-to-read. All the information should be available at the first glance. You don’t want a bland block of text. Use a suitable layout that fits on one, maximum two A4 pages.
- When applying in the UK, use correct British English.
- Proofread it. And then ask someone to proofread it for you. There is nothing worse than errors and typos in a CV. Make sure your phone number and email are correct.
