CV CV WRITING TIPS… Literally means “course of life” A marketing tool An advertisement of your skills and achievements Focuses on the highlights-not everything you have done Make statements about IMPACT not ACTIVITY Consider a bulleted style to make it reader- friendly Include as much contact numbers as possible List your jobs in REVERSE Chronological order CV CV WRITING TIPS…

CV WRITING TIPS… Don’t use PERSONAL PRONOUNS ( I,My,Me ) Don’t emphasize skills and job activities you don’t want to do in the future Proofread carefully ( misspellings and typos are deadly! ) Customize an OBJECTIVE for each job and employer Create a section that lists awards and other recognition Don’t provide references, salary information and/or reasons for leaving previous employers CV WRITING TIPS…

CV WRITING TIPS… Use STRONG VERBS to present what you have done Increased membership by 20% Built HR processes from scratch Reduced costs by 45% Designed training modules for the leadership team Be HONEST Don’t use ABBREVIATIONS except those acceptable in the engineering/technical fields, such as IBM, CAD, etc. CV WRITING TIPS…

Interview Proper 1. Technical Qualifications Years of experience and exposure Technical know-how Training - Development 2. Soft Skills a. Cultural Fit Teamwork Integrity Motivation Hardwork Innovations/Creativity b. Leadership capability to manage people Capability to lead and motivate people 3. Academic background (MBA, Special Education)

INTERVIEW ATTIRE and TIPS First impressions do matter. Aim to look PRESENTABLE, PROFESSIONAL & COMPETENT Dress according to the organization ( being too formal or dressing conservatively is usually better than trying to make a fashion statement ) Wear COMFORTABLE CLOTHES so you can FOCUS on your conversation with the interviewer, instead of putting yourself at ease Avoid too many ACCESSORIES and try to have a CLEAN look PAY ATTENTION to the weather ( unless you want to go to the interview all wet)

TOP 10 RULES You only have one chance to make a first impression Look SHARP Be on TIME Do your RESEARCH Be PREPARED Show ENTHUSIASM LISTEN Answer the QUESTION asked Give specific EXAMPLES Ask QUESTIONS FOLLOW UP
