CV Example

Note: een begeleidend schrijven kan CV 3 gedeeltelijk vervangen.Preferably a CV consists of three parts. One short CV (A4 only) with personal details, employers and functions on it. The second CV is the more extensive version of the first CV. The third CV is basically not a true CV but more a description of yourself as a person.


CV1:

  • Personal Details.
  • Education.
  • Employers and functions.
  • Languages.

CV2:
The same as mentioned above but far more detailed regarding employers and functions

  • Activities of the company you worked for, as specific as possible.
  • Size of the company (turnover, total number of employees, ranking compared with competitors, operating in a national or international setting)
  • Specific Division/Business Unit you worked for.
  • Your own place within the company (e.g. working as a hr manager within Business Unit X, an org chart could be helpful)
  • Specific information regarding your responsibilities (e.g. turnover, span of control etc.)
  • Reporting line (functional as well hierarchical)
  • Accomplishments (e.g. growth market share, from loss to profit, from national to international, mergers & acquisitions, reorganizations, growth of profit, downsizing of loss etc.)
  • Eventually the reason of your next steps in your career.

CV3:

  • Description of yourself as a person preferably with a distinction as a person and professional / colleague( e.g. your own idea about yourself, feedback from others / colleagues, leadership skills, delegating skills, tenacious, humour etc. etc.).
  • Already achieved skills (e.g. hr, marketing, logistics, finance, general management, national or international experience etc.)
  • Ambition, preferably including the arguments why (e.g. next preferred function, sector, eventually most preferred companies by name or by size, objection to relocate or not, national or international ambition, managerial or as a specialist etc. etc.)?
  • Salary Indication (current or desired, preferably divided into your fixed salary, bonus, fringe and secondary benefits, number of holidays, car, mobile, laptop etc. etc.)

Note: an additional introduction letter can for certain aspects replace CV.
