How To Write A Good CV

Ahmed | Pakistan, Education, Employment, Organisations | Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

Introduction:

A resume is a brief summary of your abilities, education, experience, and skills. Its main task is to convince prospective employers to contact you.

A Resume Has One Purpose: To Get You A Job Interview :
Resumes must do their work quickly. Employers or personnel officers may look through hundreds of applications and may spend only a few seconds reviewing your resume. To get someone to look at it longer, your resume must quickly convey that you are capable and competent enough to be worth interviewing. The more thoroughly you prepare your resume now, the more likely someone is to read it later.

Gather and Check All Necessary Information :
Write down headings such as EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE, SKILLS. Beneath each heading, jot down the following information:

A brief summary of important courses you’ve taken might also be helpful.

Experience :

Rozee.Pk: The Largest Pakistani Job Website

Ahmed | Pakistan, Business and Economy, News and Media, Employment, Organisations | Thursday, April 5th, 2007

Employment in Pakistan

Rozee.pk, the top jobs portal of Pakistan has seen an 800% growth in traffic over the past one year to become one of the most visited sites in Pakistan. With the massive global demand for IT man power and the move of multinationals to Pakistan as an “offshore destination”, the prospects for IT professionals have never been better. Pakistan’s strong growth rate, infrastructure development and formal IT policy has increased domestic demand as well. Fortunately for the employers, Pakistan’s large computer literate, English speaking population is a steady source of engineers.

Traditionally, there was a lot of distortion in the Pakistan job market place due to inefficiencies. The traditional media such as newspapers could not cope with the rapid paced jobs market and therefore caused unnecessary churn. Rozee.pk, with its experience in muslim social networking through its parent company Naseeb Networks fast job search algorithm as well as innovative services for job seekers has made the marketplace very transparent.

The employers too have noticed the return on investment of advertising on Rozee.PK. In addition to the top multinational companies, the top tier domestic companies like Pakistan Cable, National Foods and Beacon House Systems have started exclusive contracts with Rozee.PK. All in all, well over 3000 companies advertise with Rozee.PK, making it by far the most popular site in Pakistan. Rozee.PK is just as popular with the job seekers, dominating the space with over 400,000 job applicants.
