There is no
need to write Curriculum Vitae on top of the first pages of your CV; the
appearance alone tells an employer it is a CV.

experience/employment.

straight from school or college, provide the responsibilities you held at the
community level or clubs in school or college.

It is also importance to
emphasize your social skills and how you can deal with people and whether you
understand the type of job you have applied for.
For appointments
held, start with the job title, name of employer, date of employment, and a brief
summary of duties involved. Remember to
be brief and not too detailed.
Emphasizing
responsibilities completed is very significant as are highlights of personal
achievements and promotions.
These should be arranged in a chronological order starting from the most recent. This gives the employer a view of your capability in case he or she is in a hurry.

At the least, the employer will read the
recent information or about the present job you are doing, and leave the rest.
5. Memberships / Professional
Associations.
It is
important to belong to professional associations or clubs.
This could include: journalist associations, lawyers associations, doctors associations or a surveyor association.
Listing these will give the employer a reason to trust you as being a qualified person.

Identifications or recommendations from these bodies prove that you are
licensed to practice, or sufficiently qualified.
(Note) Do
not lie. You can omit this part if it is not appropriate to you.
6. Interests
Do not list all
interests. Provide one or two. Listing interests
invites questions demanding answers. If
you list too many, the employer may wonder when you have time to attend all your
listed hobbies.
However, listing your main hobbies and interests will give an indication of some of your ideas, ability, and character.

7. Summary of Skills
Apart from
academic qualifications there are important skills that boost your curriculum
vitae.
List them. You should not compile more than five.
These are especially important if required in the field you’re seeking employment from.

Not every
employer requires this part but if you’re asked to, do so. This is why it is
important to update your Curriculum Vitae for every job you are applying.
Read the requirement of the job and give exactly what is asked for in your CV.
