When recruiters are selecting applicants, it has been proven that the CV is the most important factor. Therefore, it is essential that your CV is chronologically complete, well-structured and error-free. It is also recommended to always adapt your CV according to a new job advertisement, to make sure that the CV reflects the hard and soft skills desired in the job advertisement. Hard skills are qualifications and professional skills. Soft skills refer to personal, social as well as methodical skills.1  \nHow should my CV look like?  \n- It should be no longer than two A4 pages.  \n- Use a common font (for example Arial), and a size of at least 11 pt.  \n- Structure it in a clear, tabular form.  \n- Choose an inviting and appealing design.  \n- Use the same layout as your application letter (color, header, and footer) .  \n- The most important personal information is placed in the upper half of the first page. This is usually followed by a list your professional jobs.  \n- Include a current application photo of yourself.  \nWhat documents do I need to create my CV?  \n- Written job references2  \n- Certificate of proficiency3  \n- Diplomas  \n- Course confirmations  \n- Any other important documents  \n- Photo (as shown in separate instructions)  \nImportant: Keep your documents ready in an electronic format so that you can send your application documents electronically. For this reason, make sure to scan and save the required documents and sort them thematically (for example, all work references in one single file) . It is also important to sort the individual documents in the right chronological order. It is best to label the files coherently. For example, Name_document.pdf => Smith_work_references.pdf / Smith_certificate_of_proficiency+course confirmations.pdf  \nOnce you have finished your CV, save it as a PDF as well and include this PDF-document in every electronic application. Also label this file coherently as Name_CV.pdf. => Smith_CV.pdf.  \n1 cf.

This includes a description of responsibilities and tasks anda recommendation of competencies, strengths and reliability.  \n3 In Switzerland, a Certificate of Proficiency (German: Fähigkeitszeugnis) is issued after the successful completion of a vocational apprenticeship  \nWhat information does my CV include?  \nIt is often unclear, what information actually belongs in a CV. The following tips will help you clarify any uncertainties:  \n\n| Personal details | First and last name; address; telephone number; e-mail address; date of birth; Swiss hometown (if you are a Swiss citizen) or nationality (if you are not a Swiss citizen); marital status; if you have children, state their birth years and your childcare options; driver’s license classification (if you have one); any other relevant permits/licenses (for example, forklift license) . |\n| --- | --- |\n| Photo | Make sure your photo conveys a favorable first impression with positive body language (smile) and an appropriate cropping of the picture. The photo should be current. |\n| Short skills profile | Optionally, you can insert a short skills profile after your personal details. However, this should not be a formulaic description about yourself, but rather a short overview of your individual professional qualifications and specialized skills. It is recommended to always adapt the skills profile according to the advertised position. |\n| Professional activity | List professional activities as well as internships in reverse chr","cbCaihBLK39duhVi","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihBLK39duhVi","pdf",193087,6,"English","# What to consider when creating your CV\n## Recommended overall CV length, design, and structure\n## Documents needed to create a CV\n# What information your CV includes\n## Personal details and photo\n## Skills profile and professional activity\n## Education, computer skills, languages, and references\n# How to deal with gaps in your CV\n## Specifying gaps longer than three months","[{\"question\":\"How long should a CV be and what formatting should it follow?\",\"answer\":\"A CV should not be longer than two A4 pages.
