Your Curriculum Vitae (CV) is the main means of introducing oneself as a job applicant to a potential employer. However, many job searchers do not give their CVs the attention and care they need. As a consequence, many prospective job candidates do not get calls for employment interviews where they may demonstrate and prove their abilities.

Before constructing your CV, pay close attention to the following points:

In general, an employer will not spend more than 30 seconds reviewing a CV. As a result, a CV should be exact and unambiguous. Information that is unnecessary or useless should be avoided.

A fresher's or inexperienced candidate's CV should not exceed one or two pages.

Your CV is your tool for self-promotion. As a result, it should be appealing. Color sheets or color printing, on the other hand, should not be utilized for this purpose. You may highlight material by bolding, italicizing, or underlining it.

Remember that any grammatical or spelling error in your CV will have a negative influence on the employer's thoughts. It will convey the appearance that you are incapable of doing any task properly. So, after drafting your CV, read it well and get it verified by someone who understands proper English.

When applying for a specific job posting, attempt to tailor your CV to the job criteria. You must attentively study the job posting and do research on it. For example, if you know that the employer can get a job anyplace in Bangladesh, you might list the areas you've been and stayed there. Again, if the company is searching for an Organizer, you might emphasize the organizing activities you participated in while in college. It will increase the value of your CV.

It is critical that you include honest and accurate information in your CV. You should not provide any information that might be seen as false during the employment interview.

Title

Career Overview (mostly applicable for the experienced persons)

The title will include your name first. It should be in 'bold' style with a greater font size (avoid using your nick name). Then provide your current address (where you may get mail), phone number, and email address. This section will be placed in the middle of the page to bring attention to it.
