Profile
The profile provides a brief overview of who you are, your standout characteristics, skills and
qualifications, and the type of role you’re seeking. The profile should be relatively short at
around 100 words. This may not seem a lot, but a handful of thoughtful, well-crafted
sentences that are engaging and snappy will have a lot more impact than excess
information that is irrelevant to the role.

Key Skills
Use bullet points to list your skills. You can include transferable skills, software skills,
languages, and any other relevant skills to the role. Here are some examples:

● MS Office
● Customer service
● Python
● Problem solving
● German – level C1

Education and qualifications


You should list your qualifications with the most recent first. Be sure to include the institution’s
name, the course name and qualification, your grade, the date you started and ended, and
any extra achievements such as awards. For example:

Name of school/college mm/yyyy - mm / yyyy


Title of qualification Grade

Please note: as you grow older and gain more professional experience, you may choose to
put the “Education and Qualifications” section below the “Employment and Work
Experience” section as your professional experiences become more relevant.

Employment and Work Experience


It's important to list your relevant experience with the most recent first. You don’t need to list
every role or experience, just those relevant to the role you’re applying for - these could be
roles in the relevant industry or experiences involving similar skills/responsibilities.

Provide details of the start and end dates, as well as the position. For example:

Student Newspaper, 09/2018 - 06/2019


Writer
● Outline of responsibilities
● Outline of responsibilities
● Outline of responsibilities

You should try to be concise when listing your responsibilities under each heading. Use bullet
points to avoid your CV becoming too crowded with information and try to stick with short
statements that outline your main responsibilities, skills, and achievements in each role.

Awards
This section is optional, but it’s a great place to mention any prizes you’ve received outside of
your educational institution. For example:

● First prize winner in the Oxford German Network’s ‘A German Classic’ competition

References
It’s very common to include this at the very end of your CV: References are available upon
request.
