About me student and professional CVs. At first we can say that “About me CV” is a much more CV profile presentation suitable for people without any professional experience such as student CV profiles.
– But the presentation of the CV teaser can also be titled “About me” when, for example, the candidate would like to explain the reasons for a career change. See example of professional retraining CV presentation here.
– “About me CV” can also be used as the title of the profile description and precede the CV introduction phrase when a candidate would like to e.g. explain a personal experience that led him to choose his profession.
Examples:
“I was made very aware of disability, difference and the way others looked at me very early on because my little sister has Down syndrome. I am very sensitive to the learning difficulties that people with disabilities, particularly students, may encounter. I absolutely want to contribute to the inclusion and development of this audience as much as I can. »
– Finally, there is an exceptional case of using “about” when you send an email to respond to a job offer. In fact, send your PDF or Word CV as an attachment. We can therefore very well imagine that you can make a personal presentation (about me) in the email to encourage the recruiter to open your CV.
Example “About me” programmer CV I am a passionate technology professional, with extensive experience in project management, in front-end and back-end development, specialist in human-machine interface with a focus on ease of user learning through the cognitive path method, usability and accessibility.
What to put in the text “About me CV” and what should not be put
This is one of the rare times the recruiter will tolerate you using the personal pronoun. " Yippee " to talk about yourself in the first person without it sounding presumptuous.
A good CV must be objective and to go straight to the point. Simplicity prevents recruiters from getting lost in unnecessary details.
Do not replace the title of your CV that is to say the job name that you wish to occupy by " about "
It is important to know the limits of privacy and to understand what information is essential and incidental to put in the Curriculum vitae. A photograph, date of birth and address are not required information on your CV.
If you do not have professional experience or you have a student CV profile, use some Soft Skills that best describe you. Here are some personal skills highly valued by recruiters:
Showing empathy.
Know how to communicate.
Manage your time.
Manage stress.
Flexible;
worker;
motivated;
reliable;
Creative.
Avoid writing physically unless the ad asks candidates for certain physical characteristics. Of course, if you have a disability, you can mention it without dwelling on it. In fact, you will always be able to better explain your disability during a job interview.
Describing yourself professionally is something that may seem simple to some people, but you have to be careful. Indeed, without overdoing it, you must capture the recruiters' attention in a few lines of text.
