How Important is the Format of a CV? 

A flashy CV with extreme fonts, printed on colour paper won’t get the attention of hiring managers. You have to remember, recruiters receive hundreds, if not thousands of applications. Therefore they tend to scan through your CV to find key facts that capture their attention. You can do this with great content and a good format.

What to Include in a Manager’s CV

There are a few key points that you should include in your CV. Each of which should tell recruiters who you are and why you should be considered for the position. Take a look at what you should include in your resume right here: 

  • Personal details 
  • Professional profile 
  • Key skills 
  • Education and qualifications 
  • Career experience and history 
  • References 

Personal Details 

Your personal details should appear right on top of your CV. Keep in mind that this doesn’t mean you should talk about your personal life. It simply means that you should include the following:

  • Name and surname 
  • Cell number 
  • Location 
  • Email address

Professional Profile 

Your professional summary or profile should be one paragraph. In a few sentences, sum up your career aspirations. You should also state what your current position is if you are working. If you aren’t, note down what position you have previously worked in. 

Key Skills 

When applying for a position, recruiters always include a list of skills they are looking for in their candidates. This is your opportunity to tailor your skills to what recruiters are looking for. It’s your chance to brag about yourself a bit. 

Education and Qualifications 

In this section you should list your education and qualifications. This will include your highest qualification achieved. You should state what institution you attended and when you graduated. 

Career Experience and History 

All positions require you to have experience. You can also include internships and voluntary work. Note down what position you’ve worked in and how long you’ve worked there. 

References 

References are your previous or current employers. You should include their names and current contact information. Before filling out this section, you should ask permission from your superior.

Tips on Writing a Cover Letter for a Management Position

Having a great CV is only the first step to getting hired. Your cover letter is the second. Think of it as your written statement telling recruiters why you are perfect for the job. There are four things you should highlight in your cover letter: 

  1. Explain why you fit the job 
  2. State how the job matches your career goals 
  3. Connect your career accomplishments with the job requirements  
  4. Close by thanking the employers for their time and consideration
