These documents contain very much the same information which can be described as a short description of your history in work and at school. The only difference is that CV (curriculum vitae) is sometimes believed to be used mainly for academic purposes. Alongside with Personal Details and Professional Experience you include such sections as Dissertation (if any), Academic/Teaching Interests, Papers and Lectures, Publications. Do not forget to mention your grade (e.g. M.A. in Linguistics). As one of the writer’s guides states “Many white-collar jobs require a resume from any prospective employee. At times, your resume will be mailed to a prospective employer. What the resume reveals about you may determine whether or not you are actually interviewed for a job.” What has just been said shows the importance of this document and its role in your career.

Resume is not a fill-in blank but a paper which you produce yourself and it should be arranged properly and composed in an appropriate style. The first requirement is that it should be neatly typed. Needless to say that spelling and grammar mistakes are absolutely out of question. But you should not forget even such a “minor” detail that copies should be made on good quality paper because it demonstrates your accuracy, position to the would-be employer and the fact that you really care for this job.

A few words should be said about resume’s format. It is fairly standard. At the very top, give your name, address, and telephone number. People tend to include their age and marital status although it is not necessary to give this information. Thus, you must judge whether your age and marital status will assist you in your job search or work against you.

The next paragraph of the resume may be labelled “Objectives”. Here you indicate what job you are looking for and your major qualifications for such jobs. Or you may simply use this paragraph to state your basic strengths and the nature of your past work.

Next comes the record of your work experience. This is the main part of your resume. It is listed with your most recent job first. The job before that is listed next, and so on with your first job listed last:

1995 to present

1990 to 1995

1989 to 1990

As a rule you give your title for each job and the name of the company (and division when relevant).

After the record of your work experience, list your schooling, any degrees, hobbies, honours and affiliations that you consider worth including. Do list any awards or honours you have received whether or not they are job-related. Such honours indicate that you are esteemed by others.

If you are looking for your first full-time job, you must review your work history somewhat differently. If you have held some sort of part-time or summer job or worked at volunteer jobs, these should be indicated. If you have participated in school extracurricular activities, these are worth mentioning. Your school record is also an indication of your ability and seriousness of purpose.

In seeking the first job, you must state your field of knowledge, that you are reliable, and that you can work well with others.

Resumes may be organized in different ways. The following are some of the more common formats:
