Writing the perfect CV

A well-written CV is the key (chiave) to the job of your dreams! Here are a few tips (consigli, dritte) on how to write the perfect CV…

1. Don’t make it too complicated. Here is a basic format:
• Personal data - name, date and place of birth, nationality, contact details (recapiti).
• Education – in reverse (inverso) chronological order.
• Career history – starting with your current job, and going backwards over the past 10 years (negli ultimi 10 anni) - with brief descriptions of your responsibilities and achievements (risultati ottenuti).
• Interests.
• References (referenze).
2. Make sure your CV is printed on good quality A4 size paper.
3. Never attach (allegare) extra documents - save them (conservali) for the interview (colloquio).
4. Re-read your CV, and then ask a friend or family member to read it as well (anche).
5. Make sure there are no spelling errors or coffee stains (macchie)!
6. ...and last but not least: stick to the truth (sii sincero)!

Curriculum - Modi di dire

Bisogna guardarsi dai “falsi amici”, anche nella lingua inglese!

Some words in English may sound like Italian words, but they have actually got a different meaning.

Current is used to describe things that exist in the present .
I am currently employed as a teacher = At the moment I'm working as a teacher

Current affairs are the social and political events happening in the present and discussed on TV and in the newspaper

Actual is used to talk about something real and concrete:
The documentary showed the actual living conditions of the immigrants

Actually is often used in spoken British English, meaning “To tell you the truth…”
“Are you the new secretary?”
“No, I'm not. Actually, I'm the boss!”
