A good CV example? Sat Jan 12, 2008 22:24 pm  A good CV example?
 

This résumé isn't particularly bad, but be aware that if you're dealing with a US employer, it is not appropriate to list your age or date of birth (or your marital status, or anything about your family members). It's also not really appropriate in the US to list your nationality, as long as you are legally able to work in the US.

American résumés also list volunteer work, if you have any. Sometimes we list hobbies and foreign travel.

I would leave out the part that says "personal qualities", because it's very easy for anyone to list complimentary adjectives about himself, and the employer will ignore this part anyway.

It's not enough to say you are "computer literate", because nowadays everyone is. You should have a section of the résumé devoted to "computer knowledge" and in there list the specific programs and tasks you are adept at.

It's also a good idea to insert a short sentence or phrase under each employment position the explains what you learned or achieved at that job.

The résumé has to show something about who you are as an individual. You need very, very few words to communicate something unique about your positions and education, even though if you just made a simple list, these same things might sound very generic.

Here is a web page with many really excellent examples of different sorts of résumés.
