Pauline Lahary, CEO of MyCVFactory, is not afraid of challenges. She agreed to comment on and improve applications from strangers to give us her best CV advice. Today, she dissects Lucie's, who is applying... to the United States! Writing an international CV requires respecting the cultural specificities of each country. In the United States, you do not include your photo or date of birth, because it is discriminatory. On the other hand, volunteering experiences are considered "mandatory". In terms of design, it is important to highlight the job title, more than the name of the applicant. And yes, an international CV is sometimes very different from its French version! We opt for a two-column presentation: "In the United States, they like linear CVs, without colors, without reflections, quite simple and sober", explains Pauline Lahary. The international CV with an American twist also requires a bit of storytelling, dear to our neighbors across the Atlantic: "Don't hesitate to tell the context of your application and why you are targeting a particular sector," advises Lucie. It's a way to humanize the CV. Tip for conjugation: the last experience is written in the present tense + ing ("doing research") while previous experiences are in the past tense ("participated in building a project"). And watch out for irregular verbs! For the rest, your international CV is ready to be sent, now it's time to pack your bags. _____________________ 00:25: Basic rules of the CV in English 00:49: Marketing your profile 01:32: Adding key sections 02:27: Content orientation 02:42: Grammar advice to keep in mind ???? 03:54: List of action verbs for your CV in English Directed by: Sébastien Rippon Edited by: Sébastien Rippon Motion Design: Benjamin Brun and Jean-Baptiste Bach Production: Antoine Richard Editorial Manager: Tristan Lochon Images: Adobe Inc. #cv #work #advice ______________________ Welcome to the Jungle gives work a lasting place in our lives. ????
