One thing that you should already have even if you’re only a college student is a curriculum vitae. This is your main weapon when you are seeking for a job, an internship, or a volunteer work. Most people would just Google curriculum vitae templates, but these templates are boring and won’t attract the HR recruiters.

Here are some things you need to pay attention to when creating the perfect curriculum vitae.

If there’s space, you should also provide a description of the experience in one or two sentences. Start with introducing the company or organization, and what you were responsible for during the experience. Don’t write too much about it because an effective curriculum vitae shouldn’t be an essay. Save it for the cover letter or for the interview.

Skills

Your skills are what the companies will look for and will ask about during the interview selection. Make sure you list all the skills you have, including both hard skills and soft skills. Hard skills are skills that are related to your field, such as journalism skills. Soft skills are skills related to how you work, such as leadership and team management. You should also include the languages that you can speak as a skill. There are templates that provide how good you are in your skill, for example your journalistic skills is a 4/5 and your English language skill is a 5/5.…
