咨詢行業(yè)的CV重點(diǎn)

There are 6 key sections that should be present in every CV: Header, Work experience, Education, Extracurriculars, Honors and awards and Other qualifications. While the exact labels can change, make sure that your CV contains these important elements:

Header: In the header, you should share your most important personal information, as well as give the reader options to contact you. Your header should therefore contain your name (first name and surname), your contact information (address, e-mail, mobile) and your birthday (unless you are asked to not submit this due to anti age discrimination policies).

Work experience: Your work experience should highlight all the key work experiences you have collected to date. This can include any full-time positions, internships, freelancer activities, entrepreneurial ventures and part-time jobs. However, make sure to focus on the experiences that are most relevant to the role you apply to, the CV does not need to show every single student job you had during university.

Education: The education section should include your high school degree, your university degrees and exchange semesters. You should include grades for all your degrees (in most countries also for your high school). For university degrees, include your minors or area of specialization. In case you wrote a thesis at the end of your degree and your thesis was graded significantly better than your overall GPA, you can include your thesis grade as well.

Extracurriculars: In Extracurriculars, you can talk about all the social activities and any other pro bono commitments of yours. This section should be especially about your leadership within these activities. What did you achieve and what was your impact? How were you able to achieve this together with other members of a group?

Honors and awards: In this section, you should list all your honors and other awards. For most people, these honors will be of academic nature, e.g., scholarships, Dean's list placements, Thesis / Ph.D. awards and anything related. For these achievements, it is generally not required to state the exact dates on the CV, rather just put all these achievements in a list.

Other qualifications: This section should include your language skills as well as IT skills. For these skills, make sure to accurately mention your skill level. Always be ready to have an interviewer in the middle of the interview switch to e.g., a language you claim to have "business proficiency" in.
