• Answer:

  -- emphasize your skills, not your desire to help. What skills and experience do you have that an NGO needs? -- you need to have the exact skills and experience being asked for in a job posting. For instance, if the job posting says, "fluency in French", then the hiring company wants applicants who can do the job interview entirely in French, not someone who has had a few years of French classes. If the job posting says candidates who have set up HIV/AIDS education programs for teens are what's wanted, then you had better have your experience setting up such a program in your CV. -- experience leading, managing or being the primary facilitator of a project. This can be a project that is based in any environment: business, nonprofit, or academic. -- experience in training others in a specific area of specialization, such as an activity that could lead to job development for local people, an activity that directly improves local people's quality of life (in a way that will be sustained after the volunteer leaves), or an activity that raises the professional skills of local people so they are better able to administer and manage their own local projects and institutions. -- experience working with people who are traditionally socially-excluded, such as immigrants, people with disabilities, people with HIV/AIDS, prisoners, people with low literacy skills, etc. Or, other specific populations who may have special needs, such as women, children or the elderly. -- demonstrated ability to navigate and work with large bureaucracies. -- strong interpersonal skills and cross-cultural sensitivity. Your CV needs to be explicit about your experience. And do NOT embellish; be honest.
