I am writing a resume for a new job application. The information in the CV includes:

Among these factors, I personally think skills and personality is relatively important for an job application. When you have the ability that the position you are applying, you would have a big chance to get the oppotunity.

I am writing a CV for a new jod, in the resume I wrote my education backgrand, the certification and qualification I got in the college, etc.. I think work experience and how many years you have been working is also quite important parts in the CV. The most importmant part maybe the HR want to learn is about your skill, if the skill you have is right for the position they are hiring, then you must be very luck, meanwhile the dispositon and personality is also an aspect the new company want to explore through your communication and your behavior.

First, I will write down the necessary personal information accurately. This must be done by everyone. In addition, I would include my skills and experience in my CV. I work part-time at a restaurant and a drugstore. In these spaces, Hospitality is very important. There are word to "Customer is God" in Japan. I learned a lot about service to customers, so I'm good at it. Also, communication skills have been improved. I find it worthwhile to think about our customers and act accordingly. And I have two experiences I would like to include. Those are homestay in the USA and short term study abroad in Korea. Both of them have a short period, but I have interacted with many people and deepened my knowledge of culture and language. I can’t say I am good at Korean and English right now, so I would like to study more and say that I am good at them. In summary, I would like to include that I am good at communicating with customers and I have experienced twice in short term study abroad. I found that I have few my appeal points in this theme. I would like to increase my skills before I get a job.

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.
