How to write your CV

The aim of a CV is to persuade HR staff to meet you. That is it"s only function. The resume is only the first step to get a job. It is your method of asking someone to consider meeting you to chat and then see if you"re as great as they think you are. Writing your first CV can be a daunting task simply because you"re not sure quite how to put the CV together. Below, we will guide you through those first steps and bring together all the data you need to write a brilliant first CV. Pieces of the jigsaw A CV can include the following elements. You don"t have to include them all; pick and choose which ones are most important to you depending on the sort of role you are seeking. Are you going to try for a summer job ? Maybe you want to apply for an internship at the end of university or college? Or maybe it"s a overseas role you hope to gain. Some of these sections are absolutely essential (for example, the contact details). Others may be included or left out (for example you may not feel that you want to write a "Personal Profile"). Brainstorm everything you want to flag up in the following sectors:- Contact details ň€“ This is really vital to include, but you may choose only to give a few details. The minimum will be an email address and a mobile telephone number. You might also give the name of your town (e.g. "Bristol" or "Oxford"), so that the employer knows you live close enough to reach their offices easily. Personal Profile ň€“ Some candidates choose to give a a personal profile. You might feel that it would be appropriate to write something like: "Positive media focused school leaver seeking internship in the public sector" as an example. It gives an idea of your personality, your skills and, perhaps, the sort of career you are wanting. It gives the potential employer an clear and confident summary of who you are. Education ň€“ At first you will list everything, from your GCSE subjects and grades through to your higher education study, but as you progress in your work you will find that the lowest qualifications are not something that recruiters want to know about any more. Work experience ň€“ At the start of your working life all the work experience you have may have been in an non paid capacity. List it all in this section in chronological order. Were you a volunteer for a village fete? Were you a student rep in first year? List down everything that shows you gave you transferable skills and can carry out duties and responsibilities. Some CVs will separate this section out into paid work and a Voluntary Work section. Training courses ň€“ You might list any vocational courses in a separate section. This might include BTECs, SCOTVECs or college certificates in office skills.

Quick 2-step Process for Avoiding Money Laundering Schemes

That got me to thinking about a pretty quick 2-step process that could help people avoid such schemes in addition to the normal advice that has already put out.

This technique applies mainly to people who regularly search places like CraigsList for work - not people who receive unsolicited emails offering them jobs - which already have big red SCAM flags written all over them.

Now, any time you"re told to collect money, take a percentage and forward it on, you can be nearly certain that you"re dealing with a payment processing or money laundering scheme. But for those of you who aren"t convinced or run into scammers who move beyond the keep and forward type deal - there"s another quick thing you can do.

It has to do with the fact that money-laundering operations often copy legitimate websites and set up a fake storefront when recruiting potential "employees" (victims).

Very quickly, here"s what you can do:

1) Put the website domain into a service like CopyScape to check for copies of content. Check to see if there are other sites that show up in the listings. You"ll still need to visit them to see if they are a copy of the site you originally put into CopyScape.

2) Next go to your favorite Whois lookup service. What you"re going to do here is put the domain for any sites that look the same into the Whois service and check the "creation date" of the domain.

3) If the creation date of the domain offering you the "employment" is newer than one of the other domains - then there"s a good chance you"re dealing with a money laundering scam.

Itň€™s important to mention that you shouldnň€™t assume you"re safe just because a company offering you employment has registered a domain thatň€™s newer than another domain of a copied site.

You should still follow these basic rules when seeking employment online or anywhere else:

*Never pay to apply for a job or to show that you"re "serious".

*Be cautious about calling unfamiliar area codes (Some international pay-per-call area codes look like legitimate U.S. area codes and employment scammers will use that to get you to call a number that you unwittingly get charged for).

*Never allow a company to deposit a check into your account to "test or process the check".

*Don"t give a company your checking account information or social security number until you"re comfortable with them.

* Use extreme caution if you click on advertising at even the most legitimate sites (many of the best sites donň€™t have much control over the ads that display on their sites).

The quick ň€ś2-step process for avoiding money laundering schemesň€ť discussed in this article and the previous ň€ścommon senseň€ť checklist for job searchers should keep most people out of hot water.

And as previously mentioned if a company wants you to take your cut and forward on money that is almost ALWAYS either a payment processing scam or a money laundering scam.
