CURRICULUM VITAE (RESUME)
A Curriculum Vitae or CV is a summary of your working history, the skills and experiences you have gained during the course of it.
A good CV should:

1. 
   attract attention,
   
2. 
   create a positive impression,
   
3. 
   present your skills and qualities clearly and concisely.
   

The purpose of a CV is to tell your prospective employer why you should be hired. Consider it as your personal marketing instrument. A good CV will help you open the door to a job interview.


CV Writing Tips

As you write your CV keep in mind the following:

• 
  use concise language,
  
• 
  minimize or omit everything which is irrelevant,
  
• 
  select and order the major categories so that the most relevant information is placed near the top of your CV where it will draw the reader’s special attention,
  
• 
  your CV must be free of spelling and grammar mistakes,
  
• 
  have your CV critiqued by an experienced person,
  
• 
  print your CV on white paper.
  

A CV is essential if you’re applying for a new job or for promotion within your own company. Some information might be given in your CV, some in your letter of application. There are no fixed international rules about this: different countries have different practices.



10. Now work in pairs. Decide whether you in your country and in your line of business would normally give the information below in

1. 
   a CV or Resume?
   
2. 
   a Letter of Application?
   
3. 
   an Application Form?
   

1. 
   Your name, address and telephone number
   
2. 
   Your marital status
   
3. 
   Name and address of present (or last) employer
   
4. 
   Your hobbies and leisure interests
   
5. 
   Sports you play
   
6. 
   Details of all jobs you have had
   
7. 
   Languages you speak, read or write
   
8. 
   Details of the examinations you passed at school
   
9. 
   Details of professional diplomas or degrees you have gained
   
10. 
    Details of training courses you have attended
    
11. 
    Details of your achievements and responsibilities in your working career
    
12. 
    Your suitability for the job advertised
    
13. 
    Your reasons for applying for this job
    
14. 
    When you are available for an interview
    
15. 
    Details of your present (or last) job
    
16. 
    Your current (or last) salary
    
17. 
    Salary you would expect to receive
    
18. 
    Names and addresses of two or three referees
    

What other information would you provide? Which of the information would you not give at all?
There are a number of ways of presenting information in a CV.

Traditionally, the sequence was name, address, contact details, marital status, education, qualifications, work experience, referees, and interests. However, it is now more common to begin with brief personal details, followed by a short profile or description of yourself (sometimes also called a career summary). After that, the most important information is recent employment history, and skills and qualifications. In the interests of completeness, you should account for all years since leaving school, but if the information is irrelevant to the position you are applying for or is some years old, you should summarize it as briefly as possible.
These days, it is generally unnecessary to mention marital status, children, age, health, or current salary unless specifically asked to do so, but this will vary according to the law and custom in different countries.
Here is a typical CV for an experienced professional.

NB for Russian CV writers

1. 
   В русском языке принято писать Петрова Ольга Ивановна. В английском же языке правило написания имени следующее: сначала пишется имя, затем первая буква отчества, а затем фамилия. Т.е. на английском языке Петрова Ольга Ивановна должно быть записано так: Olga I. Petrova.
   
2. 
   Есть два варианта заполнения раздела Objective (цель, т.е. должность, на которую претендуете):
   
   1. 
      краткий вариант – просто указываете должность, на которую претендуете. Objective: Sales Manager – Цель: менеджер по продажам.
      
   2. 
      в одном предложении написать то, что бы вы хотели сделать для той компании, в которую Вы посылаете резюме, и в какой должности.
      Objective: To contribute outstanding skills to achieving your company’s goals as a sales manager – Цель: работать на благо Вашей компании, используя все свои выдающиеся способности менеджера по продажам.
      

Если раздела Objective в резюме нет, то оно прилагается к сопроводительному письму (Covering Letter), в котором содержится просьба о приеме на работу и указывается желаемая должность.

3. 
   При указании периода времени (July 2010 – March 2012) помните: название месяца пишется с заглавной буквы. После цифр, обозначающих год, никаких букв, аналогичных нашей “г.” не пишется.
   
4. 
   Все слова в названии должности, названия подразделения, названии компании в английском языке пишутся с большой буквы: Administrative Assistant; Sales Department. 
   
5. 
   Перед названием города никаких букв, аналогичных нашей “г.”, не пишется: г.Уфа - Ufa.
   
6. 
   В разделе образование (Education) сначала необходимо указать высшие учебные заведения, затем дополнительные курсы, курсы повышения квалификации. Например: Master of Science in Networking, Networking Faculty, Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia, 2013.  
   

Сначала указываем степень и специальность – MasterofScienceinNetworking (магистр наукв области компьютерных сетей). Или Bachelor in … (бакалаврв …). Далее факультет – Networking Faculty. Далее  ВУЗ – Moscow State University. Затем город – Moscow. Затем страну – Russia.

Если Вы посылаете резюме в компанию, находящуюся в вашей стране, то страну можно и не указывать, а если в компанию, которая находится в иностранном государстве, то рекомендуется указать.
В заключение необходимо указать год окончания учебного заведения, в примере – 2013.

Как правильно перевести название своего ВУЗа и факультета? Обычно, на сайтах крупных вузов всегда имеется и русская, и английская версии. В английской версии всегда переведено название учебного заведения и названия факультетов.

7. 
   В раздел Education можно добавить подраздел Extra-curricular activities (Внеучебная деятельность), где можно перечислить свои увлечения, участие в общественной, научной, спортивной жизни ВУЗа. Обычно эти сведения указывают студенты или выпускники, которым больше нечем заполнить свое резюме.
   
8. 
   В разделе Skills (умения и навыки) или Qualifications (квалификация, подготовленность, профессионализм) можно указать уровень владения офисными программами: Skills: Microsoft Office (Word, Excel), 1C, Outlook Express, Photoshop.
   
9. 
   В разделе Languages (знание языков) кроме указания тех языков, которые Вы знаете, желательно указать уровень владения языком:
   

native Russian – родной язык – русский
fluent English – свободный, беглый английский
advanced English – продвинутый уровень английского
good French – хороший уровень французского
intermediate German – средний уровень немецкого
working knowledge of English – могу читать и говорить по-английски, но не свободно
basic knowledge – базовый уровень, могу читать со словарем
beginning Spanish – начальный испанский

10. 
    В разделе References (рекомендации) если Вы не желаете пока указывать конкретных людей, то пишется стандартная фраза: Referencesare available upon request – Рекомендации предоставлю по запросу.
    

13. Now you practice writing your own CV, covering and unsolicited letters, and a letter accepting the post.
