What kind of information would you include in your CV or résumé?
I would like to include all the information related to job requirements. I will include the relevant skills and experience that show my ability and knowledge. I will prefer to include my education and hobbies that express my degree level and strengths for the advertised job. For multi-skills, I would try to make a separate resume according to job requirements.
I would include only information relevant to the position I am applying for, like my experience in
similar jobs where I have done the kind of job I’m trying to get with the cover letter. I also would include
some details about the skills I used in other jobs that may need in the line of work of the company that
is offering the job I’m applying to.
Thanks for the lesson.
