The purpose of a CV is to succinctly introduce yourself and demonstrate what you have accomplished and your skills.

Ultimately, a CV is a quick overview of who you are.

 

Elements of a well-written CV :

  • Precise and complete.
  • Organized : it must have clearly marked sections. There is a common structure to use depending on one's profile (Cf. examples) ;

    • Name
    • Education
    • Foreign languages
    • Professional skills
    • Professional experience
    • Activities

  • The order of each section can vary depending on the writer's profile.
  • If the CV is overly crowded, consider choosing and presenting the information that is most relevant to the job or internship.
