I have been in the Entrepreneurship ecosystem for about 6 years. In the last 5 years, I have reviewed about 9000 CV's. Turkey's largest company in 1000 to work or ability to participate in the program online, I conducted face to face interviews. How to prepare a CV in this article? You will find an answer to the question.
Your CV will not directly hire you. However, a good CV can help you get an interview and pass the first stage. In my article, "How to prepare a CV?" You will find answers to the questions. I would like to point out that professionals will also find sections about themselves.
DESIGN AND EDIT
1-Use the entire page, save space.
If you are working on a page in A4 format, divide the page into columns and use the right and left sections in the most efficient way. I am leaving an orientation in the picture. Your resume should not be longer than 2 pages.
- You can use a ready-made template.
If you do not have design information, follow the steps of "File-New-Search Online Template" on Microsoft Word and search for "CV". You can choose the template that suits you best and download the template.
You can find templates in Word format by searching Google. If the platform gives you a PDF version of the CV template, u can change the version Pdf to word. If you want this change, you can click: https://smallpdf.com/tr/pdf-to-word
- Make your color choice right.
The readability of the texts should be your priority. If your font is black, ask yourself the question: "What background color will black text become legible on?" An advice for you.
You can use Google colors.
- Make your document accessible from anywhere.
Be sure to add your CV to your own website, to your Linkedin profile. When sharing your CV for job application, be sure to submit it in PDF format.
