After you have equipped yourself with a good template and prepared additional course certificates, you have to do the key thing that must win over the recruiter: content. If you have
little professional experience, feel free to focus on your
education and include
internships,
practical training at the university, participation in
competitions or
hackathons. And then it is as simple as that:
- Add your phone number and email in the contact details. Important: use a professional email address, not something you made up when you were 13 (kitty423987@mail.com, anyone?).
- Optionally attach a link to your social networks (but check that the content is appropriate there).
- In the "Experience" section, include the duration of your time at each organization (not in the "from 2017 to 2019" format, be more specific: "1 year and 9 months"), company name and your position.
- In the "Additional skills" section, specify your foreign language level and knowledge of relevant computer programs.
- If you want to share your portfolio, add a small description. For example, "Research for company N".
- Among the personal qualities, you can specify some professional interests and hobbies, which will prove again that you are a professional.
- You can indicate your salary expectations, but in the format of an approximate range, so you can discuss it at the job interview.
