A CV or ‘Curriculum Vitae’ is a capsule containing all your achievements for simple reference. Now a day if one wishes to apply to jobs,Who Can Put Your Countless Achievements In A Nutshell? Articles projects or even part-time work, they are required to submit a CV. Your achievements are what highlight you in a crowd. Why should a company offer you a job and not anyone else? What can you do that they can’t? How does a company know you are capable of doing what you say? These questions are standard for any company and they can be answered simply by means of your CV. A professional CV writer makes your job easy.

Your CV is like a first impression on the recruiters. I speak from experience when I say your CV can be a game changer for you. Here I will explain in detail all the necessary requirements of a CV and what a ‘CV writer’ needs to keep in mind while writing one.

A simple search on Google will give you over a thousand formats for a CV. But not all of them may be ideal to present at an interview. The way your CV is presented will tell the interviewer or recruiter a lot about your character. A professional CV writer tailors your CV according to your needs and needs of the company for which you are applying. A professional writer knows about what the potential HR managers are likely to search in your CV.

Now a question would arise, what all should a CV contain? More importantly, what should it ‘not’ contain?  A CV writer is trained to know what to include and what to exclude in your CV without compromising on the vital details that are required. Here are some basic points that are a must:

·         Your name and contact details right at the beginning

·         Your career goal, or where do you see yourself a few years hence?

·         A tabular column of your school, under graduation or post graduation details. This may include the following: Name of Institute, Course, Grade Point Average or Percentage equivalent

·         Your work experience. This may also be tabulated if you have a number of them to  mention and may include: Name of Organization, your post at the company, and number of years of experience

·         Your Co-curricular activities and achievements

·         Your extra-curricular activities and achievements

·         Any other major achievements or honours you may have been given

·         Your strengths and weaknesses must be mentioned and they should be thoroughly examined as this is what most interviewers look for in the CV and they tend to grill you on it

·         Now you may include personal details such as age, parent’s names, permanent address etc.

·         The last and perhaps the most important come next. This is the ‘reference’ section of your CV. You need to give a minimum of two references. These may be people you have worked under, your college professors and people in significant positions who can vouch for you. Make sure whoever you chose knows you well and has something nice to say about you

·         And you can end your CV with a declaration of its authenticity.

These are the most important points that a CV writer must keep in mind. Rest assured if there points are kept in mind you won’t have a problem in writing a CV.
