I present another piece of my CV format. This time I wanted to show the activity of a person who has never worked formally. Quite often in his career, meet with people (mostly women) who have devoted their working lives to the family life. It happens sometimes so that these people, however, after many years of inactivity, want to return or enter the labor market for the first time. And here comes the problem - what with CV? The Council is the same as in the case of a graduate - should be based on any non-business activities and skills. Adults can indicate in your CV to elements such as housekeeping, assistance in family-owned businesses, voluntary organizations, odd jobs (or informal agreements involving civil law). It will be important here to point out that the duration of unemployment was not passive. Indication of the acquisition of new skills, trying to further education, training and taking courses, odd jobs - will certainly show our activity and willingness to continuous development. And this undoubtedly is today an important issue in the labor market. Good luck in creating your own resume :)

1. Capitalize on your skills.  Enumerate the areas where you are good at. 

2. Highlight your work habits: Are you a service-oriented person? Are you an organized individual? A team player? 

3. Your educational attainment: how did you fare in school?

4. Make sure your CV is clean and organized.  It should be presentable.

5. State why you should be hired: show your confidence through your application letter.

6. Make sure you carry yourself in a presentable manner, especially during the interview.  Remember that you don't have a second chance to make the first impression.

We always tend to look  for college performance and grades that is when we are posting an entry level positions.we also look for personality traits,motivations,likes,dislikes ,.

during the interview we get a feeling of such traits and eagerness to learn and excell.

that is why if someone Is writing a cv without experience,with no projects,no social associations,we tend to advise them to ask themselves before they write their cv to ask themselves a few questions like why am I special,why should I be hired,what are my special skills,what is my outlook for the future,expectations,...etc.
