Build your success story: create a structured CV that convinces!

Optimize your resume for maximum readability. Use clear headings and bullet points to highlight important information. An ideal resume should generally be no longer than two pages, unless you have extensive work experience.

1. Personal information: Your resume should begin with personal information such as your full name, address, phone number and email address to make it easy to contact you.

2. Career objective or profile: Add a short profile that succinctly summarizes your career goals and key qualifications to provide a quick overview of your application.

3. Professional experience: For each position, provide the company name, the time period, your position and a concise description of your duties and achievements to clearly illustrate your professional development.

4. Education: Starting with the highest degree, list your educational qualifications including institution, course of study, graduation date and any awards to highlight your academic qualifications.

5. Skills and knowledge: Present your relevant skills and knowledge, such as language and software skills as well as special qualifications, in a structured manner to underline your suitability for the position.

6. Internships or volunteer work (optional): If relevant, you can also list internships, volunteer work or other experiences that demonstrate your professional skills and commitment.

7. References: References can be provided upon request; however, contact details are usually sufficient for later exchange.
