You will find below essential tips to make a good CV:
Highlight your skills and experience
You need to highlight in your resume your key skills and experience. If you have a lot of professional experience, consider the latest and focus on those the most related to the position. Think about the skills and knowledge that the recruiter is likely to search for this position, and try to recreate them in different sections of your resume.
Be different from others
Your CV must differentiate from others as its design and its content. Start by downloading an example below :
CV template examples in several languages
One page
As a general rule a CV must consist of one single page. However, in some cases a CV of 2 pages will be tolerated (many professional experiences, specific professional field...).
Specify for each position, your missons and tasks
The recruiter will be able to get a better idea of all the skills and knowledge you have been able to practice during your past professional experiences.
Briefly describe your professional experiences.
Name and company size, sector of activity, start date and end date of the contract, position, your responsibilities, tasks performed, your positive results, the number of people you had to manage...
Be honest
Do not lie in your resume because it might eventually catch up to you. Keep in mind that everything you mentioned in your CV may be the subject of questions from the recruiter which ultimately will make you fall into your own trap.
Accept criticism
Feel free to show your resume to several people (friends, relatives, family ...) to collect their criticisms, to improve it.
Specify the level of your skills
Your language levels (Spanish, English ...) or computer (Word, Excel, Photoshop ...), etc.
Contact Information
Enter all contact information by which the recruiter will contact you (email, phone, skype ...).
