How to Write a Convincing Curriculum Vitae

It is no longer a surprise that most school certificate holders and even graduates alike today have not come fully abreast of the acceptable or prevailing trend in a simple CV or Resume presentation. Your CV is the first gateway of any prospective employer to getting to know and assess who you are and what you can do at first glance.
Thus a CV or Resume has to be arranged in sequential order, enabling any prospective employer to be able to read your progress and experience. It is important to elaborate on your outlook in life, skills strong points, and the various positions held as well as the duties carried out accompanied with dates.

Also, should you not have been engaged at any time, you are not supposed to leave any blanks in your sequence of experiences. Thus, whether you were engaged or not, it is important to indicate whatever it was you were doing. It does not matter whether you were being paid for the engagement or not. As such it is always advisable that at every point in time you ought to be positively engaged with something. They all add up in the end as no experience is useless. Following is a typical example of how you could tailor your Curriculum Vitae:
