Curriculum Vitae

CVs are definitely the basic element in any job application.

1. Time sequencing. When drafting the cv, ensure both professional and educational experience start with the most recent and following that chronological order.

2. Spelling mistakes. Avoid common spelling mistakes while drafting your cv. This is a big turn off to potential     employers.

3. Ensure you put your current correct contact details( phone no., email address, and physical address)

   If in Dubai, simply put your physical address as DUBAI, UAE

4. The passport photo in your cv should be professional and formal. Ensure you look neat and presentable.

5. Ensure your cv has a presentable profile info which gives a brief description of your profession and achievements. Make this short and straight to the point.

6. Tensing. Your current job should have the verbs under Job roles ending in (-ing) while previous jobs should have verbs under Job roles ending in ( -ed)

7. Having at least one reference is a plus.

8. Avoid putting irrelevant info such as date of birth, marital status, hobbies, gender unless stated.

9. A good, presentable cv should be brief and concise. Let it be one page if possible.

10. Ensure your cv is well formatted and looks attractive.

11. Always submit your cv in .pdf or .doc format.

12. Avoid using general CVs in job applications. Instead use job-specific CVs meeting the specific job        requirements.

13. Ensure you indicate country prefix code in the telephone number e.g. if you are based in UAE, indicate +971-
