    Your work experience should look something like this

    Employer

    Dates of employment

    Duties:

    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .


    Next employer repeating details above.

    Make it easy to read essentially. No paragraphs, no waffle. Point format all the time. Remove the "going out with my friends". No employer wants to see this.

    ok thanks you, i would try to make it more readable, anything else?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 115 ✭✭6679


    I would personally remove 'Date of Birth', 'Nationality' and ' Marital Status' as the company does not need to know this for an interview and it might be a disadvantage.

    Leisure Interests Hobbies and interests


    In my free time I enjoy listening music and playing soccer. I like all kind of sports and going out with my friends, I love cooking for myself and I love childrens. It is presumed that you sociolize in some capactity so drop going out with friends. Drop the children thing it comes across as a bit weird.

    To be honest the first part could be under your main details at the top. Your knowledge of computers could be mentioned in attributes etc... I think OP you should do a bit of googling there to get a proper cv layout

    Seconded, take out anything about your date of birth, nationality and marital status, this is none of the interviewer's business. All they should ask about in this regard is if you have a work permit.

    Eres Mexicano? Tu CV es demasiado corto. Pero para trabajar en un Pub deberia andar bien.

    Employment history
    Name of employer
    Dates
    Duties

    repeat other jobs.

    I disagree somewhat - I suggest leaving this information in if you feel it gives you an advantage.

    I have 19 years experience. Lots of companies would say "old guy" but I'm only 36 so put DOB in my CV if the company is "youthful". I also put fact that I'm married in as that indicates a level of stability (less likely to go travelling, less likely to be sick, be hangover, bang colleagues, etc). I include nationality too just in case the recruiter is biased (unfair, but possible).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 63 ✭✭yahurespuestas


    thanks so much... my experience is not so big because im 19 i havent worked so much, just that..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 56 ✭✭tinnuvial


    Normally I would tell people not to include their nationality. In this case since your previous work and education are in Mexico the person reading the CV will assume you are Mexican. They will then wonder if you have the legal right to work in Ireland. If they have lots of other CVs to read they might throw yours away. If you put Visa Status on your CV they won't have to wonder e.g.

    Visa Status: Student with right to work part-time

    If you don't have the legal right to work here then leave off your nationality and visa status. You can discuss it with the owner if you get an interview.

    I'd say that you are fluent in both Spanish and English (so long as you are!).
    I'd run your finished effort through a spell checker.
