How to write a standard resume for you?

CV stands for curriculum vitae (Latin for the course of life). We use it when we apply for jobs.
Here’s how to format a CV the right way. Start with creating a CV outline divided into the following sections:

Proper Order of Sections

CV Header with Contact Information

Personal Profile: CV Objective or CV Summary

Work Experience

Education

Skills

Additional Sections

When filling within the sections, continuously keep in mind the gold CV formatting rules:

1. Select clear, legible font

Take one of the standard CV typefaces: Arial, Tahoma, or Helvetica if you prefer sans-serif fonts, and Times New Roman or Bookman Old Style if serif fonts are your usual pick. Use 11 to 12 pt. font size and single spacing. For your name and section titles, pick 14 to 16 pt. font size.

2. Be consistent with your CV layout

Set one-inch margins for all four sides. Make sure your CV headings are uniform—make them larger and in bold but go easy on italics and underlining. Stick to a single date’s format on your CV: for example 11-2017, or November 2017.

3. Don’t cram your CV with gimmicky graphics

Less is more. White space is your friend—recruiters need some breathing room! Plus, most of the time, after you send out your CV, it’s going to be printed in black ink on white paper. Too many graphics might make it illegible.

4. Get photos off of your CV

Unless you’re explicitly asked to include your photograph in the job ad. If so—make sure to use a professional-looking picture, but not as stiff as a professional-looking. 

5. Make the CV brief and relevant. 

Don’t be one of those candidates stuck in the nineties who think they have to include every single detail about their lives on their CVs.

If you want the recruiters to get back to you, you need to let them know how they can reach you.

In the contact information section, enter you’re:

1. Full Name

2. Professional title

3. Email address

4. Telephone number

5. LinkedIn Profile

6. Home Address

The contact information section seems fairly straightforward, but here’s the one reason it might be tricky: Recruiters will use it to research you online. If your social media profiles are unprofessional, or if your LinkedIn profile information doesn’t match that on your CV, you’re immediately out of the race.

Objective / Summary (Optional) 

1. Brief explanation giving center to your resume showing the kind of position you need and what you offer. The rest of the résumé ought to provide evidence of your capabilities for the position you seek.

2. Ought to be particular to a position or field you need to enter.

2. Category headings may change based on individual experience, ex: Significant Experience, Supporting Experience, Research, and Leadership. 

3. List in switch chronological order (most later to begin with based on end date) inside categories.

4. Bunch encounters in sections based on relatedness rather than by paid/unpaid. 

5. The involvement itself is more important than compensation. 

6. For each encounter include position title, organization name, city and state, dates of activity (month/year-month/year), and description.

2. Each encounter has the potential to be profitable. Distinguish the skills you utilized/ created and compare them to the position depiction to determine which to 

3. incorporate on your last record. Stress around long after you have completed this step. 

4. Maintain a strategic distance from “Responsible for” and “Duties include” and don't utilize personal pronouns (i.e. I, my, our, we) anyplace in your document. 

5. Use your portrayals to reply to questions such as Who? What? When? Why? 

6. How? How numerous? How regularly? Results? 

7. Incorporate numbers (ex: amounts, dollar sums, rates) when appropriate to supply concrete verification of abilities and results.
