Curriculum vitae (CV) or resume is one of the most vital career tools; this is the reason why in-dept knowledge about it is, as well as close attention to it is indispensable in today''s job competitive world. However, most job hunters, especially fresh graduates do not pay close attention to it at all; most of them just copy and past the resume, by just making some changes to the personal data, qualification and other parts (education, experience, hobbies, etc) of the CV or resume: This is a big mistake!!!

Your prospective employer "does not want to hire a list", they single-mindedly want to hire a person who is positively active, productive, industrious and skillful. Positive activeness, productivity, industry and skillfulness are the criteria for most of the jobs in any sector. So your CV or resume shall unveil these criteria. I do not reveal how to write such the good CV or resume, but think about how to write it in such the form that demonstrates the four requirements.

Employer does not want to see CV or resume in the same form, so make your CV or resume stand out amongst hundred, by how? Not a list, but a humanly active CV or resume.
