The structure of the Resume is standard , but the difference lies in the way you express yourself and in the key words you use to define yourself.

Making a good resume has its difficulty. Its structure is standard, but the difference lies in the way you express yourself and in the key words you use to define yourself.

The CV must be submitted in very few pages, maximum three . The person who is going to read it will spend only a few seconds taking a quick look at it. Only if it catches your attention, will you devote more time.

The necessary sections for the preparation of a good Resume are the following:

PERSONAL INFORMATION
The personal data section has to answer the questions: "Who are you?" And "How to contact you?" .

On paper : When you write your CV on paper, be careful with the "excess" of data. There are personal data that, a priori, it is not necessary to indicate (marital status, DNI, if you have children ...). Providing some information will depend on you and the position you choose.

On websites : In the case of writing your CV in digital media (such as an employment website), this type of personal data is protected and guaranteed.

Professional Profile
The professional profile is a brief biography of your career. You should detail who you are professionally and what you can contribute to the company.

It is not a letter of presentation but a summary oriented to skills and professional skills that define you. Once your profile is written, relay it and analyse if you answer these questions:

Who I am?
What are my specific skills?
What are my skills and achievements?
If the text is able to answer these questions, your professional profile will fulfil its objective.

ACADEMIC TRAINING
It is the information related to your education (regulated or not regulated). For each training you have to point out:
