HOW TO WRITE A CURRICULUM VITAE

Before writing your CV

Pay attention to the fact that your curriculum is like a business card to the recruitment process. The chances of being called to an interview depend on if the recruiter had a good impression about you and if he liked what he had read when he saw the curriculum. When writing your curriculum remember that:

Don't send your standard curriculum, first adapt it by highlighting the experiences and skills that are more pertinent to the job;

Don't exceed more than two pages;

Avoid misspellings and grammatical mistakes;

Don't write about personal characteristics like: I'm dynamic, I learn fast or I have a good interpersonal relationship. Those must be saved for a future interview;

Don't tiptoe whenever you're writing, go straight to the point;

Don't lie, be honest and consistent.
