I feel sick after reading the posts under this thread. Please don’t laugh at me if I ask what is the CV you guys talked about. I thought CV is only used for highly educated people who apply for a teacher or professor position at a university. Probably here in QC the CV is the same as resume that people in western provinces use to apply for a job such as embedded software designer or RF design engineer<O:p</O:p
I know students studying engineering are very concerned about the future when they are getting graduated. I don’t know how many percentages of graduates can directly be employed from the classroom. Does their CV really play an important role in the job hunting? What do students usually put on their CV’s? Receive the first job offer is somehow an issue of luck. I still remember how happy I felt when I got my first job in the industry. Actually it was not quite long ago, but it was my first step out of the academic area in which I had stayed for more than twenty years.<O:p</O:p
After you finished your first job for whatever reason, you will find how important your CV is to win an interview chance for your next job. More important is your skills and confidence in the job interview. The most important for successful job hunting is your experience and enthusiasm. I don’t know why I have written such off topic stuff. Maybe I just want to bring you guys away from your fight and make you all face the real battle field of job market. You may or may not be satisfied with your current position or salary. Be alert you could be laid off even fired tomorrow!<O:p</O:p
My dear friend,
Your comment is welcome. CV is equal to Resume. In Quebec, Resume is called CV. You are right, CV is one of mandatory materials for applying for a professional job. The other two are Cover letter and three names, address, phone numbers of references. For some standing institutions, they ask three reference letters directly from the referees. |
