Writing a C.V. / Resume

Usually your job application will be accompanied by a separate C.V. or rsum prepared carefully. Your C.V or rsum should contain all your personal details, together with your educational qualification, other qualifications, working experience etc. It should be presented attractively so that all the information can be obtained at the first glance. It is better to keep the C.V. confined in one page. It should not extend to more than two pages. If better presented under headings and columns, the C.V will give the potential employer an opportunity to see the required information more precisely.
