Hey @alicewoodruff173 - good question. I'd say there's greater flexibility with design-based roles. If you are some way into your career I'd be inclined to let your portfolio of work speak to your design credentials, more than any design elements on your CV. If you're starting out, then it's fine to incorporate design elements in your CV (it won't help, but it won't harm you) - but generally I wouldn't recommend it. I hope this helps. Raj :-)
Sure @andrisandrizky if by MPA you mean a Master's in Public Administration... look to see what the program requirements are and then showcase them in your CV using the method in this video: ruclips.net/video/rM4lDSxwW_g/видео.html
I wonder, so does it slowly boils down to minimalistic and to the point CV's? I ask because I see loads of suggestions and thumbnails of good looking, graphical CV's with the picture of the applicant.
@sagivalia5041 You are exactly right. Minimalist and to-the-point CVs are exactly what recruiters appreciate. They will do the more detailed/nuanced checking in the interview. Graphical/good looking CVs can seem like a good idea - but recruiters work fast and graphics just get in the way. As for the picture of the applicant - this is situational. It's common in central Europe for example, and some other parts of the world. In the UK it's vey unusual and only for modelling/acting type roles. Does this help? Raj :-)
Yes, you have no idea how much. Also, should I add the city of residence? I ask because in my personal case, I live in the southern district of the country and all the jobs of my field are located in the center district and while the driving distance is 1h~, there is a direct train line between them, something that a hr recruiter may or may not be aware of, which makes me question whether I can be disqualified from interviews based on where I live.@@rajsidhu
Ahh great! With the situation you describe, Sagiv, I'd probably avoid mentioning the city. You may feel a bit far - or the recruiter might make an assumption you'd only want to work remote. Basically, don't give them a chance to reject you for something irrelevant. Good luck with it :-) Raj
@@rajsidhu Regarding the remote work bit you mentioned, it might be that, considering I apply for IT jobs. As soon as I can I will implement all of the points mentioned in this video and mentioned in the comments. Thank you.
Great question @barristermdmonirhossain7879. NZ CVs would not differ in any meaningful way from those I presented. There are occasional cultural differences in CVs for some countries (e.g. photos on CVs are common in central Europe - in others, how experience is presented), but I'd say these differences are minimal. NZ CVs fully conform to the styles I show and talk about. Raj :-)

Thank you! I do my best :-)
This was a really good video, straight to the point, but still with examples 🙌🏼
Thank you @Thomasromer2002!
Thanks for the video. What if you work in a design field, or as a graphic designer? Still no colours or icons? Thanks,

How about skill relevant to program, for example MPA, what it should say?

Thought provoking - but is there that much difference between "analysed" and "analytical skills" - assuming that the later is in the person spec
Thank you @LizWilkinson-vt8wd! And no - I don't suppose there is much of a difference between 'analysed' and 'analytical skills' :-) Raj

Awesome @sagivalia5041. If you ever have any more questions, post them here :-) It's a pleasure to help. Raj
Do you think cv patterns vary from country to country like New Zealand?
