There are certain things that a good and perfect curriculum vita has within its set margins.
1. First of all, decide the format of your resume. Decide whether you want it to be in a functional or chronological format.
2. Write your resume in active verbs.
3. Highlight your skills and objectives. Make it your resume headline.
4. Be specific about your professional background. If you are an experienced person, mention your tenure with previous employers; and in case you are a fresher, define your professional qualifications.
5. Define your current pay scale. And don’t forget to put down your expected salary.
6. If your CV is targeted towards a specific career path or employer, then you must know all their requirements and mention them in your resume very clearly. Research and know the qualities that will prove to be beneficial to the employer and think about how your capabilities match those qualities.
7. Next, be particular to provide every minute personal detail. Highlight your contact details.
8. Be professional, concise, brief and clean. Avoid from being too flashy with your resume design.
9. Stick to writing one page cover letter as far as possible.
10. Last but not the least, be sure to edit and re-edit your resume once you are done with writing it.
