Curriculum Vitae Curriculum Vitae or known as CV is a summary of an individual's education and work history to show your potential in 1-2 pages (preferably in English). In Indonesia, we usually use CV as our documents for job applications along with other supporting documents or portfolios. Your CV should reflect the kind of skills and experience that the employer would value. Before making your CV, make sure you have researched the job description that you are applying for, so you will be structuring your CV related to the positions. A Curriculum Vitae does not have any mandatory form because it depends on the company you are applying for. However, there are several things we suggest you to put in your CV, such as: a. Profile The Personal Details is one of the essential things we must be aware of because it is how employers can reach us. The things you must put in your personal info are Name, address, phone and home number, linked-in (optional), and professional email address. On a personal summary, you can describe yourself in a brief explanation, including your area of expertise. There are different opinions regarding putting pictures on CV because it can be distracting yet helpful for employers to see. If you decide to put your profile picture on your CV, use a professional outfit and make sure it is a clean, clear, and professional picture. Keep your profile as informational as possible and do not put non-relatable additional info such as religious, political view, relationship status, etc. b. Work / Organizational History Sort your work or organizational history in the order of present to past experiences. In this section, you can put your professional experience, such as work history, internship experience, volunteering, organizational experience, etc. Insert some brief explanation regarding the position, activities, and/or achievements that you get from your experience! c. Educational Background To keep your CV dense, you do not have to insert in all of your educational backgrounds (elementary, middle school and high school). Just put your last educational background, including your GPA and thesis title. You can mention your moot court experience, IELTS score, the Advocate Profession Special Education Program (Pendidikan Khusus Profesi Advokat) and Advocate Profession Examination (Ujian Profesi Advokat) on this section too! d. Achievements & Skills Adding some legal achievements and skills can determine the employer’s view of you! Whether it is a scholarship, cumlaude status, student exchange, double degree, or a championship. Put relevant skills that would be helpful for the job, such as legal research, analytical and logical reasoning, legal drafting, etc. e. Other Information / Experience There is other information you can put on your CV, such as your hobbies, languages and interests outside the law field, which can show added value. ALSA NC INDONESIA 02 Should we design our CV and make it colorful? There are no suggestions regarding CV form, but we must adjust to the company we are applying to. If we are applying to a law firm, then the employer will expect a professional CV. (Sample of Professional Resume from Harvard Extension School, Resume and Cover Letters: An Extension School Resource) ALSA NC INDONESIA 03 Common Mistakes on CV a. Spelling and Grammatical Error As people in a law field, we MUST ensure that there are no typos or grammatical errors and write structurally on our documents because it would show how well your writing is. So, make sure to check your documents before you send it! b. Using language correctly - Specific rather than general - Written to express not impress - Articulate rather than “flowery” - Written for people who scan quickly - Active rather than passive c. Too long Usually, employers would prefer 1-2 pages long CV, 1 - page preferred because employers may not have time & generally skim quickly to know whether you are qualified or not. So keep it neat, professional, and structured! d. Distracting Using a lot of design, color, unprofessional / different font, and unorganized format can be distracting for the employer. The purpose of the CV is to introduce you and what you can offer for the job, so focus on the content of CV instead of other distracting forms. ALSA NC INDONESIA 04 Note: - Documents are converted correctly into a .pdf format - Use professional email - Emphasize your most relevant strength. - We must put relevant experience about a job that you’re applying for. Nowadays, e-mail is an essential in professional communication. Ease of communication that is provided via e-mail can affect your reputation personally and professionally. Hence, there are several email etiquettes to guide you on writing emails. When writing a professional email, be sure to use a professional email address because first impressions really matter! The employer’s email inbox only shows your email address and the subject of the e-mail. So a good email subject line is vital, put a clear email subject line on the job position you are applying for. The subject line should be the main topic of the e-mail, such as “Trainee Associate Application - Khalifah Al Kays Yusuf”. Address your email to a specific person who is in charge of hiring an employee (you can do a little research before writing your email). For all formal greetings, use Dear + Recipient’s title + Name / Division. Keep your letters concise, factual and use lots of action words as a marketing strategy. The first sentence of an e-mail is how to start a professional email, you can start your opening paragraph by introducing yourself in a brief explanation and state your interest and how you heard about the organization. Then, you can elaborate the purpose of the email on the middle paragraph(s), which explain why you are interested in this type of work and point out one or two relevant school / work experiences. Be brief, yet specific. Close your email with a closing uploads/Ingenierie_Lourd/ career-guide 1 .pdf
