Moreover, a CV writer should bear in mind that recruiters receive hundreds or even thousands of applications; he should also use good white, uncolored and an A4 paper. In addition, it is more preferable that a CV maker should divide it into several boxes: personal information (name, date of birth, nationality, social status, address, phone numbers, e-mail, personal web page address), academic qualifications ( history, qualification and average if high , educational institution, place), job experience (the date you started the job , job title, job duties, the full time or part time jobs , as well as the practical and summer training), training courses (the period, name of the training session, place of the sessions' organizer), activities (the period, name of the activity , the place where the activity took place, as well as the skills and hobbies).
