A Winning CV: Personal Details

Just imagine meeting an employer for the first time! What first impression do you create? But before you meet him, he has met you through your CV. In the CV, the first meeting is at the personal details section. An employer can easily tell what kind of person you are through the personal details section of your CV. So then, what information should you include there and how much information? It may seem an obvious thing to say, but the ‘Personal Details' section of your CV is your first opportunity to introduce yourself to a potential employer.

This is a section you should also trade cautiously like many other sections because any simple mistake can cost you a job. Give information like a mini-skirt, brief enough to portray value and long enough to cover everything. Do NOT give yourself away in this section by giving too much unnecessary information. By the fact that it is called personal information does not mean you give your secrets away. Today we want to share guidelines and step by step handling of this section.
