A profile section is always necessary: For practically all types of jobseeker a profile section is a very good idea: it gives a brief introduction about you and your background, and gives you an excellent opportunity to sell your application. Include the most relevant and standout facts about you which match you to the job being advertised. Write one or two sentences that summarise your experience, skills, and perhaps a standout achievement. To be concise, merge your personal statement with your skill areas to make your profile even more striking.

Have structure in your job search: Create a spreadsheet, start with industries you’re interested in, then take each industry individually, and identify employers within the sector. Use job sites to build a list of target companies, and start finding out who you need to talk to in each. Methodically send your CV, tailoring it and your cover letter to the role (or company if it’s a speculative application). It will take time and commitment, but it will help you structure your jobseeking campaign.

Lydia Fairman, HR and resourcing specialist, and owner of 

Talk through your CV with a friend: A competency-based CV is pretty much what you need for all  now. It means that instead of just writing a list of your previous duties, you look at exactly what the employer says they are asking for and you show that you have what they need. My suggestion is go through each one of their selection criteria and think of where you have demonstrated it. It is helpful to talk it over with a friend or coach as sometimes it can be difficult to think of examples yourself.

Corinne Mills, managing director of 

Work experience is becoming vital for graduate applications: In a graduate CV you should be able to demonstrate your excellent academic credentials along with some work experience/internships/voluntary engagements you may have undertaken parallel to your degree. Work experience is becoming more and more important for employers when they screen potential candidates for graduate full-time positions.

Dasha Amrom, founder and managing director of 

Write your cover letter in the body of the email: The email is the first impression that you will give a recruiter. Therefore you are going to need to give some information about yourself and why you’re right for the role. Too many times I see the comment: “I am applying for X role and attach my covering letter and CV”. I’d like to see something about you in the email. I’d also like to see a cover letter as well. Emails have a tendency to be seen as having little value compared with a letter. So why not include a cover letter as well that goes into more detail than the email.

Jonathan Burston, founder of 

Do your research when applying abroad: If you’d like to work abroad then by all means do start exploring opportunities. However, if you are looking abroad because you think you can’t find work here, then I’d suggest spending time investigating the line of work you want to do, which organisations you’d like to work for, and what ways you could break into the sector. Depending on what you’re looking to do, don’t discount small businesses or startups as a way of getting started, if it seems competition for places at the larger companies is fierce.

Sarah Byrne, online editor, 

Seek work experience in your chosen field: A good route for voluntary experience is to look at the website of your local volunteer centre. Usually you can select the kind of experience you want – research, policy work, administration, or frontline work. Or perhaps offer the research skills from your degree to a local charity who might jump at the chance to commission a short project and give you more of an insight into social research.

Use numbers to back up CV examples: It is quite important to concisely provide examples of your best work, often from a numbers perspective. If this can be packed with your key skills this will enable your CV to reach the top of a CV search. For example, if I am looking for a front end web developer with Java, JavaScript, CSS, HTML etc., I will search all those key terms as well as location. Using numbers to back up examples will help push your CV to the top of the pile when recruiters are searching.

Oliver Meager, head of the permanent hiring division at 

Key words are essential for competency-based CVs: Key words are essential today, if only to get past the software scans. Don’t spam your CV though by repeating tracts from the advert unnecessarily – you’ll be rejected before anyone’s even read your application. Examples are always good – try to show a good story about why you’re doing this line of work, why this job is the next step for you. Add information which supports your assessment of the key competencies required for that role.

The post Top tips: how to write a perfect CV and cover letter appeared first on University of Science and Technology of Hanoi.

Do you need a CV profile?

The main reason for writing a profile is that it provides the kind of explanation you would give if you were presenting your CV in person. You’d probably say something like, “before you read this, let me tell you…” What you’re really saying is, “please notice this,” “don’t look at that” and “let me tell you the things I didn’t mention.”

Usually you won’t be in the room when someone reads your CV, so it should tell its own story. The profile sets out your stall, and draws immediate attention to the things you want an employer to see – it’s your way of telling the reader what to notice.

The profile is the hardest part of your CV to write, and, since it draws on your very best evidence, you probably can’t compose it until the rest of your CV has taken shape. A CV will contain about 50 or 60 examples taken from a lifetime which spans thousands of events. Your job eventually is to filter these down so your best information is what hits the reader first. You’ll find that you work out what gems to lead with by building up bullet points gradually, starting with jobs you did some time back.

Writing style

A profile needs to be concise to be effective. Too much text provides a large block which readers tend to skip; they need short bursts of information. If you can’t get your messages across in a maximum of five lines, the profile is probably too complicated.

When writing your profile statement, try using the “smart” third person. For example:

“Introduced a call centre function on shift working basis, re-engineered existing claims processes and commissioned new IT systems in support.”

Why does this work? It’s punchy, and the very first word is a verb. It quietly misses out the pronoun, for example, “managed” rather than “I managed”. It also underlines the idea that this a past event – something complete and therefore successful. This “smart” third person is a neat way of getting information across without your CV sounding too personal or too distant. It also means you cut at least one word per sentence and start each bullet point with a word that makes a mark.

Structuring a CV profile

You: Who you are in terms of occupational background and experience.

Where: Your sector knowledge and experience of different kinds of organisations.

What: What do you have to offer in terms of know-how and skills? What have you done and achieved? What in your mix of skills and experience makes you unusual or attractive?

Next: What kind of role, organisation, culture and challenges would provide the right next step for you?

Problem profiles

Too many profiles are badly written and full of empty adjectives and clichés. Phrases like “self motivated” and “team player” simply suggest you have nothing special or different to offer. Don’t try to impress by claiming things that employers take for granted in good recruits such as “hard worker” or “punctual”. Focus on particular skills rather than making sweeping statements that suggest perfection, and don’t make bigger claims than your evidence allows. For example, “excellent communication skills” – excellent by whose standards?

Your profile must be focused, free of flowery adjectives and in a language targeted at the right decision-maker in the right organisation. All listed achievements should link to hard evidence and, where possible, should indicate where you were working when you used the skill.
