Go to http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/re...pe=TC&Query=cv and choose a template that looks good to you and your friend. Type the information into the document. Please be aware that these templates are suitable for a CV that will be printed on paper, and possibly to a PDF file. They are decidedly not suitable for e-mailing a document to a prospective employer, unless a Word document is specifically requested and you know that it will be opened with the same or a later version of the program. Also be sure to run the spelling and grammar checker on the finished document. A CV full of misspellings can be a distinct disadvantage. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

Whats the easiest way to write a cv?
HI
I definitely agree. If you are snail-mailing the doc, then use a template. If you are emailing it as an attachment as a Word doc, then definitely DO NOT as it can cause all kinds of problems for the recipient, as sometimes now they scan the doc into a program and search based on keywords. Most inhuman. I don't even advise using bullets. Just underline main headings like Work Experience, or Education, if you have to. Some companies will ask you to email a Word doc as an attachment. Others have a box into which you can cut and paste a word doc, which automatically left aligns all text. Still others ask you to paste a pure text doc with absolutely no formatting, so cut and paste your Word version into Notepad, remove all formatting and save as a .txt file and give it to your friend so he can reply with the suitable format and doesn't get bounced at the first cut. If it is the actual CONTENT that you don't have a clue about rather than formatting, then you can go to any bookstore and get a billion different opinions on "creating a winning resume." Or just search online for advice. Phil "Jay Freedman" wrote: |
