CV (curriculum vitae) is your business card for applying for a job and creating a great first impression. Its purpose is to show the employer that you are suitable for the job offered.

It's important to have a properly written CV and to think about the requirements for a certain position before applying.

Your CV should state as precisely as possible what your current skills, experience and expectations are. A well-constructed CV emphasizes on your skills and attributes that the employer is looking for in a candidate.

• Be honest!
• Make sure there are no typos in your document.
• It must be well-structured, clear and unambiguous.
• Be specific and include most important things only.
• It is a formal document – avoid narrative/casual speech and slang.
• Emphasize your strengths, but don't skimp on skills you don't have.
• For contact address, use your personal e-mail address. Odd examples include: sexykitten@eaddress.com, gotohell@eaddress.com, pinkbubblebunny@eaddress.com.
  
• If you decide to add a photo, make sure it is polite and sharp – don't send inappropriate pictures!

Inserting a CV consists of 6 simple steps. We will teach you how to gain visibility among employers with your CV.

Building a CV

To insert a new CV, log in to your CV.ee accound and click the "Add new CV" button.

Step 1 - personal data

When inserting a new CV, your personal information should be filled in. First and last name along with e-mail are mandatory components of the CV. They are needed in order to identify and contact the candidates. We recommend inserting other types of data under personal information as well.

PS! As mentioned before, we recommend adding a polite photo to your CV.

Step 2 - work experience

Work experience is one of the main criteria that most employers follow. It shows your previous experience and gives the employer an idea of whether you are best suitable for the position offered.

NB! We recommend adding a description of the work experience as well - mark a more detailed description about your job and tasks that you were responsible for.

Step 3 - education

The highest level of acquired education is usually the most important. Generally it is not necessary to indicate all your educational background starting from primary school. By not doing so will make the CV more compact and easier to spot.

Step 4 - licenses and certifications

In most cases, it covers additional training that you have completed and for which you can provide a proof. You can add the license or certificate as a file so that the employer can see the confirmation.

Step 5 - languages

In our new system, it is mandatory to indicate at least one language skill. Additionally, the language level should be indicated. We have set aside explanatory marks for each language level to make it easier to assess your level.

Step 6 - skills

Our new job portal has placed great emphasis on the specific skills of the candidates. In the skills box, you can write all your actual skills that you would like to show employers. These can be both soft and specific skills.

Specific skills: Photoshop, Illustrator, AutoCAD, MS Excel, Java, Python, marketing, sales.

Soft skills: results-oriented, analytical, great communicator, empathetic listener, innovative and creative, courageous speaker, problem solver, resilient, adaptable, independent, conscientious, detail oriented, strategic thinker, cooperative, quick decision-making, great learner, persuasive.

Expectations and additional information
In addition to previous work experience, expectations give you an idea of your personal expectations for your future employer. Thus the employer can immediately decide whether their offer matches your criteria. Under additional information you could add referrals, additional files etc.
