Reflection : Curriculum Vitae

When it comes to applying for a job, the first step we have to take is to complete an attractive Curriculum Vitae (also known as CV or vita) in order to make the recruiter feel interested in you. Moreover, a CV, includes a summary of educational and academic backgrounds as well as teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors, and affiliations.  Besides, a curriculum vita is used primarily when applying for international, academic, education, scientific or research positions or when applying for fellowships or grants. For my class, lecturer told us to do in a simple way and just do it in a few pages. It is because, there are many applicants outside there applied for one job or position. So, our CV must be attractive with colorful paper and unique and maybe our CV will be chosen to be read.

My Reflection on Curriculum Vitae Task

by Nurul Nabila binti Yusoff (AH100138)

A curriculum vitae is such an important item for those who are looking for jobs. As for me, I feel very blessed and happy as in this subject, we are going to learn on how to make a nearly-perfect curriculum vitae for the sake of our future job interview. There are a few important things that must be written inside the curriculum vitae other than my own personal details. For instances, I have to enlisted my previous schools, results and also the achievements I received along the year of studies. Besides, I have to state the references of mine at the very last of the written resume. It is important to put in someone who is influential and most importantly, he/she knows you. This is because, the company might have to contact those respective persons to ensure that you did everything you had mentioned in the curriculum vitae.

I also have learnt about how to make the curriculum vitae looks creative and nice so the employer will attracting to our resume. The most important things that I was learnt which we must put the right information and suitable with what job that we applied. If the job requires us to put for example we have transport, then in the curriculum vitae we must put it. Otherwise the job doesn't require the information then we are encourage not to do that. However, some input that I have gather about the creative curriculum vitae actually will depends on that jobs. Some employer are prefer with this kind of resume as from them think that the common curriculum vitae is too boring and need some refreshment. But some of the employer also did not prefer with the creative curriculum vitae because they think this kind of resume are not suitable with the job applied.

CURRICULUM VITAE @ CV

Based on my understanding, Curriculum Vitae or CV are written document that briefly describe the details of writer personal, qualification and experience, which is very important for those who are seeking and tend to apply any job vacancy especially for fresh graduated students. An appropriate CV must consists of details personal information, career objective, academics qualification, extracurricular activities, working experience, skills and need to state referee. 

The CV must be written in short and simple words, give accurate information and need to regularly update the changes of the information, so that can simplified the interviewer job. For my opinion, it’s good for students to learn writing this proper CV for their own future use because CV can be consider as identity or describe personality of a person.
