How to write a perfect CV
Personal data
Be sure to include your first name, last name, title, phone number, and private email. Nowadays, many employers look at LinkedIn profiles, so it is advisable to create a serious and clear profile on LinkedIn.
Education
List the universities and high schools you attended, when you graduated, and in which field. Feel free to include unfinished studies. You can also include studies abroad that lasted more than a few months. For education, you can dismiss the information about a primary school.
Overview of employment and practice
Sort the data chronologically, starting with the most recent ones. Give the name of the company, the period in which you worked for them, the job title, and briefly describe your job duties.
Competence
It is advisable to show your strengths on the first page. Your main qualities will tell the most about you, for example, if you are an energetic, purposeful, motivated person who likes to learn new things. Include your personal skills, organizational skills, or good time management.
Language skills
For each language, be sure to mention the level at which you can speak it.
Certification
Show that you are doing something extra, more than the others. You show that you are interested in self-development in your free time.
License
These are just extra lines, they are not mandatory, but it doesn't hurt to mention them, e.g., driving license.
