    5 Ways to Structure a Winning CV

    CV or Curriculum vitae is one essential way to introduce yourself to your potential employers. The way you structure your CV can go a long way to win your dream job for you. Below are 5 proven ways to structure a CV to win that dream job.
     
    1. Keep it concise and precise.
    Your CV is essentially a summary of your personality and achievements. In as much as you may have countless achievements among others, be precise and outline only the ones that have relations with the job being applied for. In situations where those are equally numerous, weigh them and choose that which is important. 

     
    2. The CV must be structured specifically for the job.
    One mistake most people end up doing is having a general CV for every job. This will make the CV unnecessarily bulky and boring. You must make sure before you submit a CV for any work, you edit it to suit the job you are applying for. This can even help you achieve point 1 above.

     
    3. Your CV must be a factual representation of yourself.
    One error you should never commit or dream of committing is stating things that are not true about yourself. Your employer may decide to do due diligence by checking facts provided. In the process, if anything is found to be false, you will hurt your chances of employment. Thus, be frank and don't be lured to lie.

     
    4. Ensure that you do not 'over-design' the CV.
    When you decide to design your CV, just be consistent. The more you overload it with designs, the more it becomes boring and difficult to read. To overcome this, just ensure you are consistent. Consistency makes an amazing appeal to the eyes and influence the brain to remain calm. So remember to be consistent always. 

     
    5. Make the achievements stand out
    When writing a winning CV, ensure that you highlight some key elements such as; education, accomplishments, skills, and relevant experiences. These among others inform your employer as to who you are and what you can offer them. It is important to note that these elements outline your relevance to the specific job. Do not leave them vague or broad. Ensure that it is specific and speaks to the job you are applying for.

     
    These 5 points will undoubtedly win your dream job for you. Follow it religiously.
