My CV usually has 6 main sections such as personal details, career objective, education and qualifications, work experience, interests and achievements, skills. A good CV has to clear and scientific layout, full of the necessary information, and particularly suitable for the position that you apply.
Well, I have enough experience to fill with the needed information the whole sheet or even two. I definitely write about my education. Not on the top of the list though. There would be my job experience. I've already worked on five jobs and, quite successfully and some of them. Of course, I'll mention that in my CV. I'll write about my manager experience as a team leader and knowledge in constructing, designing, and installing.
And won't forget about skills, both - hard and soft skills. I think I have something to write about.
I would wrote CV including my first name, surname, experinece, skills, hobbies, knowledge of languages etc.
I'm happy I have 100% correct on task 3. I always have problem with preposition. I'm working on it.
I would include personal information (name, phone number, address).
Along with work experiences and relevant skills, it's better to put contact information of the previous employers, so they can easily verify that I'm being true about the CV.
Moreover, I think you should describe a bit about yourself and the goal you're aiming at. So the employer would see you as a person who is determined and suited for the position.
I will include my personal information (name, phone number, address).
qualifications, skills, experience.
I will include in my resume my work experiences and my relevant skills and so on. In addition to, also I will include any qualifications I have, as well as information about past careers background. For example, the university I have been through, or the Eiken 1st grade. If that resume is what you write when you get a job, write down my objective why I am applying for the job. I have written a resume for a part-time job in the past. The contents of the resume I wrote at that time are basically personal information such as name, address, and telephone number.Next is education background, I will write the junior high school, high school I have been through, and the university I attend. Finally, I will write the reason why I would like to work there. I have only written my resume once, so I am worried that I will write a resume that I will probably write when I get a job. This is because the reason for applying become like a false, and there is no strength, writing is limited. I would like to see examples on the internet etc. and also have a decent resume.

If I want to include my information in my resume, I will write my academic background and my previous part-time job. Until now, when applying for a part-time job, I write my junior high school, senior high school, and university, excluding detailed information such as my name and telephone number on my resume.
I think it will be advantageous for me to write down my experiences at a part-time job, my department of foreign language (in my case, my department of foreign language) and qualifications. I think the qualifications such as TOEIC, car license and secretarial certification are effective. Other than that, I also show how long it takes to get to the workplace from my home. If I’m close to my home, employer don't have to pay for my transportation costs, so I will have a slightly higher chance of being hired.
However, the most important thing is the motivation for the job. I show my passion for how much I want to work there, and I promise to "do my best if you do."
I have a year of experience as part-time job worker in Japanese restaurant. I learned about social and communication in job. There is opportunity that communicate and encounter with various people. I through this I get good communication skill. I have a qualification is English practical examination second grade. I have studied abrod twice. First, I went to America for two weeks and studied at local high school with local student. Second, I went to New Zealand for two weeks and I studied English with Japanese friend. I was tought by local teacher. I through those experiences, I improve my English skill.
