How to write a Curriculum Vitae
Tell in a sincere way the stages of your professional journey and the skills you have acquired. In a team, transparency is essential!
Get straight to the point! Explain the challenges you have faced and how they helped you to grow professionally. Don’t be too long. Use keywords that are consistent with the position you are applying for. This will make it easier to catch the recruiter's attention.
The CV is your business card to reach a clear and defined goal. Ask yourself: Which position am I applying for? Highlight your professional, educational and life experiences that are most consistent with the position.
Studies and previous jobs are essential, but there are other aspects of our lives that define us. What passions, sports, personal and volunteer projects have you been involved in? These are the activities that will reveal your soft skills in an effective and concrete manner.
Present your experiences starting with the most recent. In this way you will make it immediately obvious which skills you have developed so far.
Make sure that your contact details (telephone/mobile phone number, e-mail address) are clearly visible so that you can be contacted if your profile matches the current search. Then add a serious and professional photo; avoid selfies or shots from the last holiday.
Finally, don't forget to add the authorisation to process personal data according to the Italian Legislative Decree 196/2003 and GDPR 679/16.
Now the CV is complete, but there is one last step: make sure it is written clearly by asking another person to read it and give you feedback.
