Correct Way to Structure a CV?
Hello, long story short, I have never written a 'perfect' CV ever. However, I am familiar with adapting each CV to different job kinds, researching the skills required in the targeted role, and including the necessary details.
Are there any templates or websites that can aid with this? I am not currently applying for employment, but I keep track of my progress in documents or LinkedIn.
I need to prepare a CV for one of my assignments and am unsure how to structure it.

Hey there,
I hope you're well!
Structuring and making a CV can be stressful, I know that all too well - but I found a really handy template that I have used it's called 'LiveCareer' and it is free to use for templates and ideas. It really helped me in making a boss CV.
I hope this helps,

Hi @Jihoo0 👋
This is a great question!
A well-structured CV creates a positive first impression and sets you apart from other applicants. It’s important to choose a layout which provides information in a clear and professional manner – this will boost your chances of landing an interview! ⭐️
When I write my CVs, I refer to the following websites and platforms:
•
National Careers Service – This website is quite helpful for the CV structure and layout.
•
Microsoft Word – Their CV templates are good.
•
Canva – I used Canva when applying for my current placement role. You can create an account for free, and choose from a variety of amazing CV templates.
I hope this helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out.
Wishing you the best of luck with future job applications 😊

If you want to be taken seriously, don't use any template. Just create a Word document, single font, just vary bold for titles and font size. One side of A4. Three sections Education, Experience and Interests. Use bullet points beginning with a relevant, dynamic verb. Make every word count.

I'm a visual learner... but thank you for breaking down the sections for me!
May it be possible for you to also leave some tips and example for the 'beginning' intro section please?

There is no beginning or intro place in a CV. It's a tool for weak CV advisors to save time and effort on working out useful content. until you have at least 5+ years of professional experience, you don't have sufficient useful career experience to 'categorise' yourself into a short introduction.
You just put your normal, working name centre top, you contact details underneath, and then start with you Education section.
