Why it is important to write a CV in English and how to learn to do it correctly
Even if you plan to get a job in a Ukrainian company, knowing a foreign language will be your huge advantage – it will come in handy when communicating with foreign clients and working with computer programs. When your goal is a position in an international corporation, it is important not just to indicate the level of foreign language proficiency in your CV, but to write a complete CV in English – and it is crucial to do this with knowledge of the matter so as not to fail at the first stage of candidate selection and not become a meme among recruiters.
How to make a CV in English? You can rely on examples from the Internet or order it from a recruitment agency. However, it is more important to master this skill on your own. In this case, you will be able to create a unique CV that will fully reflect your knowledge and skills, which always catches the eye of recruiters who look at dozens of identical CVs every day. Nevertheless, you can get such a skill by means of the course based on writing a CV for a job from Booyya, which will answer all your questions about this tricky task.
What will Booyya's course on writing a resume in English teach you?
Here are the main points you'll learn with Booyya's course:
- how a CV should look and what sections should be included;
- what information needs to be added to the CV, what might be unnecessary and could even be detrimental to you;
- how to correctly describe work experience, if it does not exactly correspond to the vacancy;
- how to draw the recruiter's attention to the key points of your CV – a resume in English, so that he immediately notices your strengths;
- what recruiters look for first in a resume.
And most importantly, besides information on how to write a CV in English, the course will provide you with a range of vocabulary, which will come in handy during interviews. The more you expand your vocabulary, the more confident you will be feeling at the interview with company representatives.
What is a cover letter and why is it so important to add it to a CV?
If in the CV the candidate tells about his education, past experience and skills, then the cover letter is an explanation of why he wants to work in a specific company as well as position and what benefit he can bring to the business. It is very difficult to write a cover letter in English unlike a resume, this letter does not have a clear structure or form, the applicant must write it in an arbitrary form, taking into account the requirements of the company and the job description. However, thanks to the course from Booyya, you will get:
- a set of language expressions that can be used as templates during letter writing;
- information on what specifically needs to be included in the text;
- tips on the best way to format a cover letter so that the recruiter immediately notices the main points.
Moreover, the course will provide you with a lot of new vocabulary and grammatical constructions that will make it easier to write a cover letter regardless of the profession and specifics of the vacancy.
Interview preparation in English with Booyya: results overnight
An interview always causes a lot of anxiety, especially when it is conducted in a foreign language. After all, in this case, the candidate needs to demonstrate two things – his suitability for the vacancy as well as a good knowledge of a foreign language. That is why you should not rely on luck, though it is important to prepare very well for an English interview, which the course from Booyya will help you with. The curriculum is focused on several of the most difficult points:
- what is better not to say during an interview in English language;
- how to paraphrase tricky statements in order to demonstrate your strengths as a candidate and a high level of a foreign language;
- examples of the most common questions that recruiters tend to ask candidates at the interviews and successful answers to them that will add you points;
- English interview phrases and words that will boost you confidence;
- features of business etiquette and language that are a must to consider when communicating with company representatives.
Thanks to the course from Booyya, you will learn how to pass an interview in English with flying colors, thus being able to prepare for it literally in one evening. However, we advise you to allocate more time for preparation, so that the new words and phrases are better memorized and you can feel more confident. After all, when the interview is in English language, the questions and answers to them cannot always be standard – recruiters often try to confuse the interviewer. Thorough preparation will help you reduce the level of anxiety so as not to lose vigilance and attentiveness during the conversation. That is why the Booyya course offers you not only English for job interviews, but also a lot of useful information about interviews as well as tests to consolidate the acquired knowledge.
