Creating a CV
- 1. Creating a CV A lesson and workshop
- 2. Parts of a CV- Class Brainstorm Have you ever created a CV? What are some essential parts of a CV? What information should you include?
- 3. “How to Write a CV” Video Tutorial ● Watch the video giving 5 tips for writing a successful CV. ● Complete the portion of your notes (‘gap-fill’) on one or two tips assigned by your teacher. ● Discuss the tips with your classmates. Video Link: https://youtu.be/CP-wWXjQ4Oo
- 4. Model CV Feedback With your partner, provide positive feedback and suggestions on one section of the example CV provided in GoogleDocs (using the comments feature). Consider these questions: ● Does the section include necessary information about the candidate? ● Is it easy to read (legible font, clear wording/description of skills & experience)? ● Is all necessary information included (dates, schools attended, places of work, etc)? ● Are there any spelling or grammar errors? ● Is the formatting simple and effective? Does it guide the reader, or cause distraction?
- 5. Partner Dictation/CV rough draft Using the CV template provided, ask your partner questions to create a rough draft of their CV in GoogleDocs. Your partner will do the same for you. CV template ‘rough draft’ questions Ask your partner, and type their answers into the CV template: ● Personal information (Top): What is your name, address, email, phone number, etc.? ● Education: Where are you studying? What degree? What years (start & finish)? ○ Did you study another degree earlier? What was it? Where? What years? ● Experience: Do you have a job now? What is your position? Where? What are your duties? What years (start and finish), or are you still working there (2019-present)? ○ What previous jobs have you had? What did you do? Where? What years? ● Skills: What languages do you speak? What is the level? What are your special skills (computer programs, other specific job-related skills)? Have you won any awards?
- 6. Creating your CV Now, use your partner’s ‘rough draft’ CV template to update and edit your CV to create the final product you will use to apply for work experience internships and jobs. You can also add a profile photo at the top, if you’d like. Remember to save a copy of your final CV in your own GoogleDrive folder, and also download a copy onto MS Word to keep, and to continue updating as needed in the future. Best of luck in your search!

- Optional: Teacher can pre-teach the key vocabulary provided with the gap-fill, especially for lower-level groups.
- Teacher note: Remember to share the model CV you choose (there are two models provided to choose from--one for an I.T. student, and one for a machining student). If preferred, the teacher can bring in another model CV from a former student in the same field as the students in the class you’re teaching (just be sure to change the personal information at the top--which has been done with the model CVs provided).
- Teacher needs to share the CV template with all the students in GoogleDrive. Make sure each pair names the CV file under their partner’s name (as they’ll be creating a rough draft of the CV for their partner). The partner will do the same for them. Start this activity by making sure each student saves the file under their partner’s name, and shares the file with their partner. This will assure that at the end of the lesson, each student will have a rough draft they can update and edit into their own final CV.
