Working on a CV Today I was working on the CV of my brother. I think that most of us have worked on a CV at least once in a life. Even if you'd like to start your own business and you are not going to looking for a job - you still have to briefly organise information about yourself and put it into 1-2 pages. Now I am working on my CV as well, updating and actualizing its stuff. Having experience of more than 2 years as a recruiter, after reviewing thousands of CV's I can state that there are three basics components of your CV. The very first is a good formatting. CV has to look awesome, you must have a desire to open and read it. The second one is you CV has to be unique. Right, you have to find common and known things with unique words and phrases. Why - because using cliches your CV would not be read, it will be just briefly reviewed. Such fear meet most of the CV. And the last one is you have, to be honest and concentrate on the results. You can hours describe how good and talented you are, but your potential employer is looking for skills and real outcomes, not just good words. Be confident and you'll meet the luck!
