На составление вашей рабочей истории могут уйти дни, а иногда и недели. Поверьте, даже международные компании, упомянутые в вашем CV, не помогут, если резюме написано неправильно, начиная от формата и заканчивая особыми фразами, на которые обращают внимание работодатели.

Некоторые практические советы:
• Формат CV не должен раздражать и отвлекать. Не рекомендуется помещать текст в многочисленные колонки.
• Дайте краткое описание компании(ий), в которой(ых) вы работали.
• Пробелов в вашей рабочей истории не должно быть.
• Обязательно напишите пару слов о достижениях; обычно они выражаются в таких терминах, как ROI (return on investments), рост, а также цифрах (цифры относительны, поэтому лучше не писать о том, сколько вы принесли прибыли в денежном выражении, обойдитесь процентным соотношением).

Ваше CV может выглядеть так.
