Before you write your CV, you need to do some research. Research means finding out information that will help you.
First, find out about the job. Read the job ad carefully. What skills does the employer want? What kind of work will you do? Write these things down.
Next, find out about the company. Who are they? What do they do? Where are they? You can find this information on the internet. When you know about the company, you can write your CV to show you are a good match for them.
Then, look at your own life. What jobs have you had? What did you study? What are you good at? Make a list of all these things.
When you have all this information, you are ready to write your CV. A CV that matches the job will get the employer’s attention.
Good research leads to a good CV. A good CV leads to a job.
