Analyze your CV

• Work in pairs and analyze the CV of your teammate
  • Picture (lights, size, background, general visibility)
  • Personal information
    • name: either "[First Name] [Last Name]" (not the opposite way round!) or you specify
      • First Name: ...
      • Last Name (or "Family Name"): ...
    • contact information needs to be easily discoverable
    • don't forget birth date & permit status
  • Education & Work Experience
    • event order: newest to oldest (so, the Education sector shoud start with Powercoders)
    • event dates: only month/year, no dates, e.g. "Aug 2015 - Jun 2017" or "since Sep 2017"
  • Skills
    • level: list your skills including your experience level (excellent, very good, good, fair)
    • order: list your best skills first
  • Hobbies & other things
    • always ask yourself: is this relevant information? If in doubt, ask a colleague
    • Hobbies are important! Best case: your interviewer shares a hobby of yours and you can do some small talk. Which is good!
  • References
    • ask the people you're going to put there first!

• Improve your CV according to the feedback of your colleague!
