FULL NAME
Catchy headline where you emphasise a few key strengths that you have for the job and also the
kind of job-- and even the kind of employer-- that you're looking for. Dare to be bold and use this as a
hook to capture the recruiter his attention, but avoid catch-all concepts like 'flexible', 'teamplayer',
'sociable' and so on. Be specific. Recruiters usually don't like to read; a quick glance at your resume
should suffice to know what you are about. So don't hesitate to put words in bold throughout your cv,
use clear headers, bullets, and so on. Make sure you come off as authentic, likeable, passionate,
reliable and unique.
PERSONAL
DETAILS
Optional. Here you can put your age, driver's license, where you live, your
marital status, all that stuff.

ACHIEVEMENTS
it's also good to say a bit about your wider interests and achievements. So if
you're a student, you've maybe been involved on a committee with a student
society; being a class rep; you maybe play on a team sport. Anything that's
active and social is usually good for a CV, but try to put hobbies and interests
that you think your potential employer will relate to most. And it helps enhance
what you say you offer as a good, all-round candidate. Usually, you would say
at the very end, at least "References available on request" or you can add in
two referees with their names, job titles, and contact details.
