CV Format in Russia
Your CV is the first to represent you to any Russian companies during employment and it should do good enough for you to go pass the shortlisting of candidates for employment. You might have already prepared a standard Curriculum vitae back in your home country, however it is best to customize another one for Russia to let your Russian employers know how interested you really are to be part of their company.
Make sure your CV has a version of both English and Russian. You cannot assume that your interviewers can perfectly speak English so there is always a Russian version of your CV for submission. To get an idea on how to make your CV, take a look at the format below:
| Parts of your CV |
Content |
|
Heading |
It is preferred that you do not include a photo in your CV unless it is requested to be present in your document. Take note to make its size visible enough for your employers. |
|
Personal Information |
This should contain your full name, contact details with international dialing codes, email address, and nationality. This doesn't necessarily need to have a career objective section, and should just be written on top of your document. |
|
Professional Experience / Work History |
This is where most Russian employers focus, make sure you have a consistent structure that includes your job title, the name of your employer, dates, a brief discussion of your job description and the achievements you were able to get if there is any. The list should be done with the most recent job at the top. Keep it simple and relevant to the current job application. |
|
Educational Background & Trainings Attended |
List down your educational attainments or diplomas in reverse chronological order and the school where you took your degree. |
