Somethin pro.....,
Hi! Since it’s the Job hunting season for many of the freshers and final year graduates., I’ve gone through many articles about Resume and Curriculum Vitaes and tried my best and compiled some of the points that were basic and necessary enough for all of us to know while applying for a Job or for higher studies. Hope this helps..,
The main differences between a CV (curriculum vitae) and a Resume are the length and content. The Résumé is a brief summary of your skills, qualifications and experience. It is usually a page long or sometimes even two. It is usually a concise review of your technical and personal skills. The CV is relatively longer and more detailed. It is usually two or more pages long and it has details about the educational and academic backgrounds as well as teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors, affiliations and other details. Points to be remembered while preparing a CV:
Clear - well-organized and logical
Concise - relevant and necessary
Complete - includes everything you need
Consistent - don't mix styles or fonts
Current - up-to-date
Don't just write one CV and use it for every position you apply for. In addition to your education and work history, your CV should contain your research experience, publications, grants and fellowships, courses taught, institutional service, professional associations, accreditation, presentation, licenses, and awards. What Not to Include :: There is no need to include your photo, your salary history, the reason you left your previous position, or references in your CV. References should be listed separately and given to employers upon request.
Coming to Résumés.., It is a public relations piece, with you as the product, containing facts chosen to create a favorable impression. The purpose is to bring you to the attention of a prospective employer, so that you will get an interview. Although there are many different styles and types of resumes, every resume will and should be unique to the writer's experience and goals. There are three most common formats, which are Chronological, Functional, and Targeted/Combination.
Chronological:
Detail work experience in reverse chronological order.
Include work history and education.
Easiest to prepare.
Most favored by organizations - preferred by 83% of corporate human resource professionals
Electronic
Scannable Resumes are designed to be entered into a computerized database. The resume is read by a scanner and stored in text format.
E-mail Resumes also deserve special attention to ensure an organized transfer of your information.
Combination
Focus on a position / job target. Present capabilities in support of that position.
Permit you to prominently relate you ability to do the job even if skills and experience are not recent.
