How to write a CV?

How can I write my CV as I don't have any working/practical experience?

  • I'm going to apply a job and it's the first time for me, but when I have to write my CV I don't have anything good or special to write, I don't have any experience of working,and I don't have any prize rewarded or any specialization, except for my education what can I write to make my CV special?

  • Answer:

    First of all, you can stretch out your education. Are there any courses you took which would be directly applicable to the job you are seeking? Did you work on any class projects which might have given you some special skills you could use? Secondly, what about activities? I have students all the time who are applying for internships and things like that without experience, but when I probe, I often find out that they held leadership positions within their fraternities or sororities, or they were responsible for events for their school organizations (planning a trip for the snowboarding club takes organizational skills and budgeting skills too!). Rather than a section entitled "employment", you can write in "experience", and talk about some of those things. Lacking that, you may want to list skills. Although I would have to wonder how good you were with people if you had never even been a club member, you can put in skills that you bring to the job, such as computer programs you have mastered, etc.

a resume and a CV are two TOTALLY different things. I would expect you to be filling out a resume. Most companies ask for a resume and if they like what they see, then they will ask for a CV. Have you ever worked at all? If not...put your education...even if it is just High School, and play your strengths to the job description. Can you type, know how to use a computer....what programs are you familiar with...office, power point, word perfect, excel, CAD, quatropro, etc...
