[size=3][font=Tahoma][b]A) The chronological CV[/b]
This is the most familiar format, outlining your experiences in reverse chronological order with sections for education, experience and achievements. It’s easy to organise and demonstrates how you’ve progressed over time. However, it may not be as suitable if you’ve changed jobs frequently, have disparate experiences or are looking to change career direction.

[font=Tahoma][size=3]B) The skills-based CV[/size][/font][/b]
[font=Tahoma][size=3]This CV focuses on demonstrating evidence of relevant skills. Use relevant skill headings to present your evidence - educational and work experience descriptions are kept brief. This style of CV is more difficult to organise but, if you focus on the right skills, it can show you’ve considered the needs of the employer.

[size=3][font=Tahoma][b]C) The academic CV[/b]
This type of targeted CV differs mainly in the degree of emphasis given to knowledge and academic achievements. For an academic or research career, appropriate headings might include:
* dissertation and/or research abstracts;
* research interests and/or areas of expertise;
* teaching and/or administrative experience;
* publications;
* presentations or conferences attended;
* professional memberships;
* fellowships and awards.

[p=30, 2, center][b][font=Tahoma][size=3]寫Cover Letter 注意事項及SAMPLE (又睇下英文啦.....)[/size][/font][/b][/p]
[font=Tahoma][size=3]When possible your CV should always be accompanied by a covering letter. Use it to put your CV in context with the position or organisation, outlining how you relate to its values, ethos and aspirations. While your CV sets out the skills you have for the post, your covering letter more explicitly presents your motivation and adaptability. A covering letter should:
* demonstrate to the employer your interest in and knowledge of the company;
* highlight particular parts of your CV that are your unique selling points;
* give additional information that does not fit easily into a CV;
* explain any personal circumstances or anomalies in your application.
A well-written covering letter is essential for speculative applications.
[b]Style[/b]
* Address your letter to a named person, even if this means you have to phone the company to ask for the name of the person who deals with recruitment. This will ensure that it reaches the right person. It also gives you a contact name for a follow-up call or email.
* Think from the employer’s perspective rather than your own. Tell them what you can contribute to the organisation rather than how it can benefit you. Do not send them a standard letter with only the key details changed.
* Your covering letter should be no more than one page long and with short and clearly themed paragraphs - aim for no more than four paragraphs as a rule.
[b]Content[/b]
Use the following format as a guide for your letter:
* Briefly introduce yourself, state the post you are applying for and where you saw it advertised. For a speculative letter, specify the type of work you are looking for.
* Explain why you are interested in this type of work and show an understanding of what it is likely to involve.
* Explain why you are interested in working for this particular employer. Demonstrate enthusiasm and evidence of research into such aspects as their successes, involvements, values or clients.
* Highlight what makes you suitable for this position. Provide evidence of your key strengths by referring to experience listed on your CV. Aim to show that your key strengths reflect their requirements.
* Take the opportunity, if necessary, to explain any anomalies in your background, such as time gaps or ways in which you do not match the selection criteria. Perhaps explain how any hurdles you have encountered have helped you develop in a positive way.
* If the role and organisation are creative, you should reflect this in your writing style. If the organisation is formal, you are more likely to be successful if you write a formal covering letter.
* Ensure there are no errors and spelling mistakes and that you have written the addressee’s name correctly.
* Respectfully request an interview or an opportunity for an informal discussion.
* The letter should be typed, but a nice touch in formal letters is to use a fountain pen to hand write ‘Dear ...’ (with the recruiter’s name) and to sign ‘Yours sincerely’.

It’s important to tailor both your application letter and the CV to the job in question, focusing on qualifications and experience that are particularly relevant.
[b]Dos and Don’ts[/b]
Here are some general points to bear in mind when preparing your CV/résumé:</span>
Do[list][list][*]keep your CV/résumé brief and concise: there is no need to go into a lot of detail about your education or employment history.[*]try to keep your CV/résumé to one or two sides of A4 paper.[*]use brief, informative sentences, short paragraphs, and standard English.[*]when describing your responsibilities and achievements, start each point with an action verb (such as [i]teaching, leading, developing[/i]): this creates more impact.[*]use bold type or bullet points to highlight key information.[*]proofread for spelling, grammar, or punctuation mistakes: many employers routinely discard CVs that contain this type of mistake.[*]update your CV regularly as your situation changes.[/list][/list]
Don’t[list][list][*]go into too much detail: employers are too busy to read rambling or unfocused CVs/résumés.[*]leave gaps in your employment history: add a sentence or two explaining any periods that are not accounted for.[*]use too many different fonts or typefaces: keep to one or two that are clear and easy to read.[*]use inappropriate colours, graphics, or photos.[*]name people as referees unless you’ve confirmed that they’re happy to provide a reference for you.[/list][/list]
[b]Structuring your CV/résumé [/b]
A CV/résumé should be clear and well structured, with a limited number of main sections, so that an employer can pinpoint the information they’re looking for quickly and easily. Here are some broad guidelines on how to structure an effective CV/résumé.
[b]Personal details [/b]
Always begin with your personal details, i.e.:
[list][list][*]name[*]address[*]telephone number (home and/or mobile)[*]email address (personal, rather than work)[*]personal profile[/list][/list]
There’s no need to include your date of birth, your marital status, or your nationality unless the job advert has specifically asked you for this information.
A [b]personal profile[/b] is a way of introducing yourself to a potential employer. It outlines who you are, what skills and qualities you have, and why you would be an asset to the company. It also provides a good opportunity to tailor your application to the requirements of a job before you move on to the details of your experience or qualifications.</span>
[b]Employment history[/b]
Beginning with your current job, if you have one:[list][list][*]Give a brief outline of your current role, responsibilities, and skills, focusing on those which are most relevant for the job you’re applying for.[*]Work backwards through other jobs you’ve held, giving a brief summary of each, highlighting any aspect that’s particularly relevant to your application. Include work placements and voluntary work, if applicable.[*]Unless you’re very young, or you’re applying for your first main job, it isn’t necessary to list all the less important jobs you may have done. You could summarize them as, for example, ‘various temporary administrative posts’.[*]Avoid leaving unexplained gaps in your employment history as this can create a negative impression. If you've been bringing up a child, unemployed, or taking a career break, for example, add a sentence explaining this.[*]Treat any significant periods of unemployment in a positive way: you could outline any activities you engaged in while you were out of work, such as carrying out voluntary work or learning new skills.[/list][/list]
[b]Educational qualifications[/b]
[list][*][list][*]If you’re still studying, start by giving this information, making it clear that your studies are ongoing and when the course is due to end.[*]If you’ve completed any other further or higher education, outline this next.[*]Then give your secondary school or schools and the dates you attended, together with:[/list][/list]
a list of your A level (or Scottish Higher or equivalent) subjects and grades
o brief details of GCSEs, Scottish Standard Grades, NVQs, or equivalent qualifications (only give full details of these if the employer has specifically asked for them or the subjects are relevant to the job in question)
[b]Any other skills, achievements, or training[/b][list][list][*]List any relevant courses or training you’ve completed (e.g. to gain IT skills or knowledge of a foreign language).[*]Mention any significant awards you have received or other professional achievements that would be relevant to the job you are applying for.[/list][/list]
[b]Interests or pastimes[/b][list][list][*]A brief outline of your interests and hobbies can help to give a potential employer an insight into the type of person you are. They may also indicate skills you have that you are not using in your current position.[/list][/list]
[b]Referees[/b][list][list][*]Give the names and contact details of people who would be willing to give you a reference. Ideally, one person should be from your current (or most recent) place of work, while the second could be from a previous employer.[*]If you’re applying for your first job, you could give the name of a tutor, teacher, or anyone who knows you well enough to vouch for your character (apart from members of your family).[*]Always make sure that the people you have in mind are happy to provide a reference for you before you add their names to your CV/résumé[/list][/list]
