Okay, let's jump straight into the tutorial. Okay, to help you get hired at the first attempt, I will teach you the following four things in this video. Number one, I will quickly tell you the purpose of a CV and cover letter and what the hiring manager will use them for. If you understand what a CV and cover letter are used for as part of the hiring process, your chances of success will increase significantly. Number two, I will then tell you the seven sections to include in your CV. Number three, I will then give you a brilliant CV personal statement and cover letter to write down that are guaranteed to grab the attention of the hiring manager. And then finally, number four, I will tell you where you can instantly download my brilliant ready-made CV templates and cover letter examples. Okay, to begin with, let me quickly tell you the purpose of a CV and cover letter. Please take notes. A CV, which is short for Curriculum Vitae, is an itemized list of a candidate's education, experiences, accomplishments, achievements, and certifications. A CV should ideally be no more than two to three sides of a form. It must be free from grammar, spelling, and punctuation mistakes. Now, along with your cover letter, the CV is the first thing a hiring manager will read to quickly determine whether you have the necessary skills, experience, and passion to do the job properly. And a cover letter is a single-page professional letter that you submit along with your CV when applying for any job. The cover letter is a piece of persuasive writing that shows your passion for the job and why you have applied. Okay, now that we know what a CV and cover letter are, let me tell you the seven sections to include in your CV to make it appealing to any hiring manager. Please take notes. CV section number one is your contact details. At the top of your CV, include your name, email address, and direct contact number. Make sure the answer phone message assigned to your contact number sounds professional. If the hiring manager calls you to invite you along to the interview and they get an unprofessional answer phone message, they may hang up. CV section number two is your personal statement. This is one of the most important parts of your CV. So your personal statement is a short introductory statement that outlines your key skills and qualities and why you will be a great fit for the job you have applied for. The personal statement should explain your passion for the role and include details as to why you stand out from the competition. Your personal statement should be between 200 and 300 words long. CV section number three is your education background. Now in this part of your CV, include details of the schools, colleges, and universities you have attended, subjects studied, and grades attained. Write these in chronological order. This means putting your most recent education achievements first. CV section number four is your work experience. Now in this next important part of your CV, you should include details of, again in chronological order, your work history. Make sure you include the name of the employer, the position you held, and brief details of your main responsibilities. In this section, you can also include details of voluntary work and work experience placements. CV section five is your achievements. Now in this next section of your CV, write down brief details in bullet points of any key achievements you have gained in your life so far. Ideally, these will come from previous work positions, but you can also include details of professional certifications and training courses completed, honors and awards, languages, sporting achievements, and charity work. CV section number six is your hobbies and interests. In this next section of your CV, write down brief details, again in bullet points, of your hobbies and interests. Now good hobbies and interests to include here include physical fitness activities, team sports, playing musical instruments, being part of community groups and societies, and reading, to name just a few. CV section number seven is references. Again, this is really important. A reference is a professional individual who is willing to vouch for your credibility as an employee and your ability to do the job competently in the role you have applied for. Now 90% of candidates put references available upon request on this section of their CV, but this is a mistake. I strongly recommend including the names of two people who are willing to act as a reference for you. Make sure you ask their permission first before including them on your CV. Now if the hiring manager sees the names of two people who will vouch for your professionalism, it will definitely increase the chances of you getting invited to an interview. Okay, now that we know the different sections to include in your CV, let me give you a brilliant example personal statement that is guaranteed to grab the attention of the hiring manager and will then give you the perfect cover letter. Please take notes. Personal statement for all job roles. Here we go. I am a highly motivated and results-driven professional with a diverse background and a proven track record of success.
