Unfortunately, at Talent Hunter Netherlands, we see many Curriculum Vitae that don’t meet basic standards or can be greatly improved.<\/p>\n
To help you stand out in the job market, we’ve compiled this guide on how to create a strong Curriculum Vitae that catches the attention of Dutch employers in just 8 points:<\/p>\n
At the top of your Curriculum Vitae, include your name, address, phone number, and email address. Use a professional email address since employers often use email to contact candidates. And if you can add a neat photo, we really recommend it, as it allows the employer to put a face to your Curriculum Vitae, although it’s not mandatory.<\/p>\n
In a few sentences, write a brief introduction about your professional goals, skills, and what you can contribute to a job.It’s recommended to tailor this section to the specific job you’re applying for. And if you’re willing to learn new things for a job you have no experience with, mention that.<\/p>\n
List your work experience in order, starting with your most recent job and working backward to the first job you had. Include the names of the companies, your positions, the dates you worked there, and a brief description of the work you did and what you achieved. Focus on your accomplishments, but be concise.<\/p>\n
Write about your education, starting with your most recent diploma. Include the name of the school, the degree you obtained, your specialization or field of study, and the graduation date. If you have special certificates, courses or training,add them if they’re relevant to the job you’re applying for. If you don’t have a degree, don’t worry.<\/p>\n
This section is where you can highlight what makes you special and what your skills are. They can be technical skills, but also social skills. Not everyone has technical experience. But, pay attention, if you’re good with computers or with a specific program, mention it as well.<\/p>\n
List the languages you speak and indicate your proficiency in each. Speaking English is usually an advantage in the Netherlands, but for certain jobs, it’s important to speak Dutch. If you have certificates confirming your language proficiency, add them. If you don’t, don’t worry, but be honest about your level, as they’ll likely evaluate your English level during the job interview.<\/p>\n
Use this section to include other important information about yourself. For example, if you’ve done volunteer work, internships, or even your hobbies. For instance, if you’ve played soccer for a long time, it says something about teamwork and your social skills.<\/p>\n
In the Netherlands, it’s common to include references in your Curriculum Vitae. You can provide their contact information or indicate that you have references available to provide under the work experience you’ve listed. Adding a reference gives a sense of reliability. Don’t worry, it’s not necessary to have this in writing, contact information such as the name of a manager and phone number is sufficient.<\/p>\n
