1 . Your CV is a business card

Needless to say that the curriculum is a real card. This means that even more than the declared content and experience, of utmost importance is the form. Some people choose security – and laziness – European standard CV, but is likely not to make the most of the features and experience of the candidate and not to attract the attention of the reader . A resume which is visually appealing ( without exaggeration , of course) has a much higher percentage to be noticed and really took into account. It ‘s very important that it be ordered, no typos , no picture with Caribbean backgrounds . And please , do not ever signed with the surname before the name , we are not in the barracks !

2 . Clear, concise and ad hoc

Much more useful a clear and concise page of a full version of the Count of Monte Cristo .

Highlight the most significant activities for the type of position for which you are applying , making them more visible graphically , magnified in a credible way your experiences, but do not overdo it . Be clear : better a few keywords that significant long-winded paragraphs Cicero .

3 . Storytelling and personal branding

Today list their experiences and their titles is no longer sufficient . When we present a curriculum we have to focus on our personal brand, all of the reasons why a client or employer should choose us . To highlight the best possible way our personal brand we have to tell us , to know our past , our experiences , what we are today in the most immersive as possible, not through a list of jobs occupied and duties carried out , but contextualizing the pieces that make up the puzzle of our work : we need to explain the links between the activities we have done , because to make a long idle moments , clarify how our titles have actually borne fruit , indicate which people have helped us to be what that today we are work-wise and personally .

4 . Video curriculum

Not much loved by the most timid , today is establishing itself more and more video curriculum , a short video presentation in which he speaks of himself and his own professional experiences. A must the ease and communicative : if you can not be smart enough better to rely on traditional methods. If you want to launch yourself , just a smartphone, a webcam, or a patient friend who is fun to recover and give appropriate feedback and advice.
