Elliott Writer's Block Series: Crafting Compelling CVs for Employers Around the World

A Curriculum Vitae or CV is a professional document used by applicants worldwide. In the final Fall ‘24 event of Writer’s Block, we will explore how to compose your CV for use in the Western Hemisphere and the various elements that must be included for applications globally in other regions. In the interactive session, you will see the different CV layouts and styles important for each type of job or higher education pursuit. We will discuss how to turn your English version into a local version to be used in your home country should specific language fluency be required in the Job Descriptions. Also, we will identify the parts of the header that are inappropriate in the Western Hemisphere but why they need to be present in the headers of CVs when used overseas. Through an evocative discussion and presentation, you will walk away with a more effortless mastery to help you overcome the challenges of where to use a particular CV style. Most importantly, you will discover how to author your CV to convey a lasting impression to employers or institutions worldwide.
