О том, что и как писать, уже было дано много информации. Теперь немного о том, как резюме оформлять. Многие вещи из разряда "само собой разумеющееся", но все же.
So what does a New Zealand CV look like?
To start you off here are a few quick tips:
- you don't need to write 'Curriculum Vitae' on it, they know what it is;
- put your name in the middle at the top in big writing;
- Kiwis are pretty informal, don't get too formal: drop your middle name
- put your name in the footer of the document so it shows on every page (which you number), that way if the printout gets dropped there is no problem;
- next comes your contact info: make it as easy as possible for them to read and to contact you with phone; mobile; email etc.
- the minute you have NZ contact details change your CV to show this.
Layout
The basic rule to use is "Keep it simple". Readers get bored very easily so your CV needs to be easy to read and understand. Good layout and formatting can really help with this.
Standard size: your CV should be written for A4 size paper (general letter size in NZ) with standard margins.
Structure: your CV should be a series of sections (qualifications, employment history, interests etc.) each with a heading. Headings and paragraphs break up the page and make it easier to read.
Sentences: keep sentences fairly short, long sections of text can be boring.
Paragraphs: long paragraphs are hard on the eyes, break your page up with different size paragraphs as it makes it easier to read.
Indenting: indenting sections of your text can be useful to make the CV more readable, but using too much of the width for the indentation can look odd.
Formatting
Formatting the text on your CV is vital for a good impression. If it looks good and professional you should be taken seriously, but if it looks odd or disjointed that's how the reader will see you.
Colours: keep it black or dark blue - nice conservative colours.
Font: stick to one common font such as Arial or
Times New Roman. Don't mix and match and never use
comedy or
handwritten fonts.
Font-size: again, stick the standards - 11 or 12 point text so it's nice and easy to read on a printed sheet.
Headings: your CV should have a main heading: your name. Each section of your CV should have a strong and clear heading, make sure they are all the same style.
Bullet points: these can be a useful tool to break up the page and are the best way to present information lists like qualifications, but don't get carried away with them.
White-space: make sure your CV has enough white-space - too much text crammed in makes it harder to read.
