How to write a CV for final project(in a professional way though) in which "where to apply" i mean for which type of job you are applying for is not clear ..?
thank you so much
Thank you sir
Great video! Would just add to make sure you use correct spelling, grammar and spacing and check multiple times. How you write on your CV says a lot about you. and how good or bad you would be as potential employee. You don’t want potential employers to think you are unprofessional.
I desperatley need some advice I have worked across three different industries; education, office(business) and events. Please can you advise, thanks!
Thank you

Does this format work for the US as well? I have been told to keep my professional profile shorter with fewer sentences.

Thank you for this video me personally I am guilty of using cliche terminology so I will write more things that are more personal about my skills also I might try and create a cover letter because I don’t have one yet.
THANKS
What would the professional profile include if I am a new graduate and applying for a scholarship abroad for Master's degree. I really need help!!!
this is such an awesome video, specially for someone who hasn't written a CV in a long time! thank you! this content is gold! you sirs gained my subs and likes
its prefeerable to send it as a PDF doc , so it stays intact , cuz for example if u have word 2013 and the reciever has word 2007 then the doc will change like some words will get attached , some phrases changes places.. smth like that. its based on my personal experience
Very helpful

What if we have more job experience in different field? How to write? Should we write the experience relating to future job we're applying for?
Experience,do i have to start with the first job i did/i can do the zig zag

Small question, if I don’t have much of an experience, is it ok to say that “i have little experience in the field but I’m eager to learn and grow “?

Skills is the most important part of CV. Because HR people use special software to shortlist candidates. This software gets required skills from section which must be named "Skills", and not by other words. Often HR people do not look at CV at all, this job now is automated, and robot would not process your CV if it doesn't find the word " Skills" and required skills in this section. If you do not have section Skills your CV would not be processed
Merci
So far my only experience was a weekend job making teas in a hair salon, and a nursery assistant as work experience for a week. If I'm applying for retail jobs is there anything I can use from this? Is it worth putting it on my cv?

Can anyone help me? I'm a 16 year old who is starting A levels in September (2019) and I want to get a part time job, because I need the experience and money.

Do you have experience of creative cv's? Cv's tailored specifically for employers looking for creatives, architects, artists, designers??? Is the process of creating a cv the same no matter the profession? Ive got it into my head that standing out rather than using the usual standard format also works, im not saying it does, because im not getting any feedback but have seen examples of hand drawn CV's, A3 sized bound leather book type cv's. I worked in a small architectural studio of about 3 to 4 and at one point the whole studio was asked about expansion and what we think etc and we saw saw different types of cvs some with lots of images of portfolios etc.... Basically my question to you guys do employers at creative studios/offices also look at the usual structured types of cv's that are word processed in the usual font etc.... Im at the point right now where im toning down, reigning back, going back to basics and using your examples and hopefully building on from there also saving time in just thinking about the content rather than layout / images etc. Just wondering if youve seen a successful "different" type of cv? Or how about when portfolios are involved, and samples and links are required to be sent? Oh man so many questions now...

@@alanastone5241 Well, considering they probably are speaking English as a second language and probably want to teach English to non English speaking kids, then I am not sure of the need for the spelling police for a single misspelled word
