Resume writing tips - present your knowledge, education and experience.

1.Prepare your CV

File Format
The CV should be in a computer file attached to your Intention Email. The preferred formats for this file are (in this order):

HTML - highly expressive and easy to read or print
Text - less expressive but extremely easy to use
PDF

Please do not use DOC files. This bloated and insecure format should be your absolute last choice.
Personalize the file name. Saving a resume named cv.txt into a folder only works for the first one. Name it "Your Name CV.txt" instead

Language
Feel free to use the English or Romanian language.

Suggested Style
Please keep in mind that the main purpose of your CV is not to tell us about you. It is to:

Prove that you are able to do the job
Prove that you are the best fit for the job, from all the candidates

We don't have the physical time to interview every single candidate so we use the CV to filter only the most promising ones.

This is why, if you want to write a great CV, you should focus on the DO factor. Tell us what you DID. It doesn't matter where - a previous job, on a hobby or school project, etc. Just show us that you were able to DO stuff related to the position you are targeting, and you'll convince us that you can do the same on the job.

2. Write in your CV

These are some of the things that should be included in your Resume.

Employment - if available
Detail each company, position, product.

Other Experience - only if relevant to the target position
Include any projects you worked on, either on your own or in a team, for fun or for school, open source or paid for.

Education
Specify the degrees you obtained, from which schools and universities and the grades you got.

Languages
The languages you speak.

Achievements
Personal achievements, like contests, prizes, etc.

References
Is there anybody (teacher, manager, colleague) that can vouch for you and give you a reference?
When applying for development positions do not forget to specify the programming languages, OSs, tools and technologies you've used. Describe as much as possible about each project: its size, components, modules used, user interface, interactions, algorithms. Send source files if possible.
Try to present your knowledge, education and experience from an angle that relates it to the position you are targeting.

3. Omit from your CV

The following stuff is irrelevant and should be omitted from your CV:

Your picture
Your non-work-related hobbies
Your stress resistance
Your availability to work long hours
Your driving license and your willingness to use it for work purposes
The full list of classes you took in University

Also please avoid writing unsupported lists of skill words (like: "Office, Java, etc.") - tell us what you DID with them instead.

4. Prepare your Intention Email

Have a meaningful Subject. Don't just say "CV".
Write a couple of lines about yourself. Specify the job opening(s) you are applying for.
Favor text-only emails. Leave the formatting for the CV.
Avoid unproffesional-looking signatures.

5. Send your CV and Intention Email

Do not forget to attach your CV to the Intention Email. Send them both to the following email address:
