When we looked at the important elements that make up a CV yesterday, we explored the following things you should bear in mind when writing a CV;

1. ?Relevant
2. ?Selling your achievements
3. ?Easy to read and flow
4. ?Detailed and accurate
5. ?Truthful
6. ?Highlighting the skills you have developed both in and outside of work.?

?While writing your CV, think of it as a professional sales brochure that a person might use to advertise themselves to companies as someone with competent talents.

We also talked about defending your brand point

And we said your brand points are actually the foundation of your CV and Cover letter. It’s the summary you use to compose or write your brand story. One common example we mention about brand point was;

• ?Leadership experience?
• ??Academic and communication service.?

Now when writing your brand story you need to use these three points in crafting your CV letter and use it as central points of expressing your skills, your achievements and experience coupled with what you can offer.

In one hand, we looked at the key elements that employers will want to see in your professional sales document that highlight your skills, achievement and experience. ?

Some of the key features you will need to capture are;

• ?A personal profile statement
• ?Role undertaking
• ?Clearly showing responsibilities
• ?More importantly achievement quantifiable where possible
• ?Skill and abilities
• ?Education and qualifications
• ?Ongoing personal development
• ?Hobbies and interests.??

On the other hand, we talk of five (5) steps of a CV that stands out.

Here, we provided the tips you have to understand and know when writing your CV using its main headings such as;

1. ?Defending the brand points that makes you unique
2. Choosing the right CV format
3. Choosing your headings and put the most important ones first.

This was the last points we saw during our first master class free training session.?

Today we are going to be looking at the following;?

?Choosing your headings and putting the most important ones first

?Write your pullet points

?Review check spellings and proofread?

Then get in to our new topic

REASONS FOR CV REJECTION

But fore we start let look at the our three last points on Choosing your headings and putting the most important ones first, Write your pullet point and?review check spellings and proofread?your CV.

Choosing your headings and putting the most important ones

Now that you have done your ground work, it’s time to actually create your CV.?Think about your brand point and then determine the heading you want to use. It’s advised to use headings that helps you tell your brand story at a glance such as ‘Skills, Education, and experience’, but other headings should be used to support your brand story.

For example, instead of having a heading for work experience, to be more specific and use Sales experience to highlight that if it is one of your brand points.??

Call for attention

One of the critical thinks to remember is to put the most important thing first when writing your CV.

Start as thus, with a heading on; Profile statement then Education.?As you gain more experience in your career, your education will move to the bottom.?

If academic excellence is one of your brand points, you might consider adding a heading after ‘EDUCATION’ called SCHOLARSHIP and ‘AWAREDS’ or’ HONORS’.

It’s a good idea for your next heading to reflect one of your brand points such as LEADERSHIP SKILLS or any other specific type of experience.

?If leadership skills is one of your brand points, it’s better to not make the reader to go all the way to the bottom of the page to read about your leadership skills. If it’s important to your brand story, bring your skills in to the focus, in the first part of your CV with a strong heading like leadership skills. If you don’t have leadership skills don’t worry you still have a lot to offer.

some of the few things that should not be included in your CV are; Reference available upon request or a photo, but that depends some prospective employers expect to check your reference, and many companies cannot consider CV with photos as it would be considered as discrimination. So always edit your CV with respect to the type of company you are applying to.?

Next we have writing your CV in bullet points?

Once you have determined your headings, it’s time to make your brand points come to live with bullets points under each heading.

Bullets points are better than a narrative format because they are easier to be read to skim. Keep your bullet points specific so that each delivers powerful information.?

Step 5: Review check spellings and proofread?

It’s true that some CVs are never even considered because of the typing and grammar errors. After you finish polishing your CV, take some break, and then review objectively. By asking the following questions;

• Does it clearly tells your brand story?
• Are your brand points the most important topics?
• Someone reading your CV what will the person think you have to offer?

Make any necessary adjustment then spell check and proofread it carefully. It’s a go idea to register for CV writing programs with Mbongeya internship company or another third party?to help you understand firstly and clearly what the CV is all about and how to manipulate it when need arises. Find a mentor to review and proofread your CV.

THE BIG QUESTION: Have you ever asked yourself the reasons your CV does not stands out in the competitive job market??

Here are some of the REASONS FOR CV REJECTION

Student and young professional will understand that they are many reasons why your CV and Cover letter may not lead to a call, meeting or interview.

These include;

• ?The CV was never read by the intended person
• ?The CV was too long and boring therefor it was not read
• ?The CV was irrelevant to the readers’ needs
• ?The CV was poorly prepared and presented on cheap paper, included spelling mistakes and there for did not deserve a positive reply.
• ?The CV was difficult to follow because of poor layout and the reader lost interest.
• ?Your CV arrived too late to be considered.?

?I believe you now understand why so many of you are turned down for internships, employment, and other chances when you apply. To get it right, the goal isn't to be chosen for all the jobs you apply for, but to figure out which ones will fit your profile and get you an interview call. So, if you're still confused, please stick with this Mbongeya internship master class program to the end. For you to comprehend, we have prepared a pleasant surprise for you.?

Our last topic for the day is the structure of the CV.

STRUCTURE OF THE CURICULUM VITAE

1.?????The personal profile

If we have such a short time to hold the reader’s attention, then we need to make an immediate impact. Your personal profile could still be called the personal statement so don’t be confused.

Your profile is your banner heading at the top page of your CV. That should give a main summary of your brand points. Remember what we talked about brand points. It set the top for the rest of your CV and help precondition the readers mind. Your personal statement or profile is aim to;

• Give a brief overview of who you are.
• ?Highlight your main skills and experience
• Communicate personal attributes
• It motivate the readers to know more.

When writing your profile, make sure it should be, relevant and contains positive statements that sells you. Remember first impression count.?

?

In reality, the personal profile is your own headline advertisement and as such start the process of selling your skills, abilities and achievements.
