CV & Résumé

The CV is the first document a company opens — and, in most applications, the only one it reads before deciding whether to schedule an interview. This section brings together the guides on building one from scratch: what structure to use, what belongs in each section, and what to leave out.

The articles cover the situations most people actually face: writing a CV with nothing but a phone; producing an English version for international employers; adapting the document for technical roles, where a driving licence, its category and the machines you have operated matter more than formal education; and fixing the formatting mistakes that get a good candidate set aside.

Every guide is written for the Mozambican market — the examples, the documents referred to and the currency are the ones used here.
