Be honest. A good CV has to be objective and truthful. The tone in your CV very clearly states your personality. It takes a recruiter just a glimpse into your CV to determine your character. Don’t under play or over play your achievements. Do not talk about qualities that you don’t have, or projects that you have not done,

Keep your CV crisp and clutter free. Do not try to list every achievement in your CV. The employer does not have the time. Ensure that you record key achievements that would be relevant to the job you are applying. A good CV need not necessarily be the longest one.

Record the details of your role: Your CV should be able to give your prospective employer a quick overview of the roles you have held in your previous jobs. You can do that without getting too elaborate. This will help him/ her understand your background and strengths.

• |
List your strengths. Personal Qualities become the deciding factor in some cases. Some roles demand leadership qualities while others demand analytical thinking and time management skills. List your strengths objectively, explaining how you can add value to the organization by being who you are. |

Be available on the contact numbers mentioned in your CV. Remember to give phone numbers on which you will be reachable. Do not give residence numbers which may just go unanswered. Recruiters might call you at work hours. You can always reschedule your call with them at a mutually convenient time. But be there to answer the call, else you might just lose a good opportunity.
