How to Stand Out?
  Chance of fail
    first time


                           Take risks



Use "Trial and Error"
   methodology
Structure Your Resume
 There are some must-have sections in your CV

  Personal information
  Objective
  Previous work experience
  Education
  Projects developed
    E.g. at the university, high school or in free time
  Skills and abilities
  Other experience
    E.g. at the university
Personal Information
 Always put it in the top

 Include the following

   Your name
   A photo
   Your contacts
    Email address
    Telephone number
    Home address
Use a professional
      photo


  The Photo
Use a professional
      photo


  The Photo

     Don't use Facebook photos!
         Better no photo at all
The Contacts
 Use your personal    contacts
   Personal email, personal telephone!
   Never use work contacts
 Be sure to have a good-looking email address

   Even if you use it only for job applications
   PeterPetrov@, Peter.Petrov@,
    Asen_Georgiev@
   Not emails like:
    DestructorMachine@,
     Svalyacha92@, P373rP37r0v@
Objective
 The objective should be after the personal
 information
   What you are applying for?
   Be descriptive, but be brief
   Don't be overdescriptive
Previous Work Experience
 Write your previous work experience

  Best to order them by date
  Explain your duties at this position
  Don't be overdescriptive about your managers
    Better not to include full names and contacts
Education
 Write down all   the schools you have gone to
   University
   High school
 It is always
             better to highlight courses you
 visited and are relevant to the job offer


 Add relevant informal
 education
   E.g. @ Telerik Academy
Projects Developed
 The best way to show expertise is to show
 something real
   Like projects you have developed
 This gives a better impression   than just plain
 words like "I am good at…"


 No projects?

   Why not start a project,
    to gain experience?
Skills and Abilities
 Write down all   your skills and abilities
   All of them are important
   But some are more important than others
   Highlight the skills that are most relevant to
    the current job description
   Just mention the others
Other Experience
 If you have any other experience that is
 relevant to the job offer – show it!
Homework
1.   Following our guidelines write your CV
        Target it to your preferred job position and
         employer
        If you don't have work experience think how you
         could change this
        If you don't have any projects, start a project (e.g.
         open-source in GitHub or Google Code)
            E.g. create your own web site
        Find people who can write endorsements for you
                                                                 66
