CV Skills Summary

The Skills Summary section of your CV includes your main skills. You should only include
keywords in his section, do not go into lengthy descriptions of your skills. The skill summary
is also called personal profile.

CV Objective

The CV Objective, sometimes also referred to as CV Personal Profile states "What is the next
step in my career?" This should be a short, concise statement that informs the employer what
kind of position you are looking for. The type of position, the role (managerial, supervisor,
contractor) should be included as well.

If you are job hunting it is a good idea to have several CV's with different profiles or

floor manager. Your 'sales supervisor' CV can highlight achievements in this area, and the
CV would be tuned to that particular in terms of job descriptions and achievements.

certifications from non-academic institutions, especially those that are related to the job
vacancy. If you have more work experience than qualifications, put your work experience
before your qualifications.
