For a scholarship CV, what level of education do you need to include only high school and university only!

Don’t forget to include it too year of entry, year of graduation, and your final grade.

If you were in high school or college, have you ever internship or workalso enter that information under educational information.

Friends who are active in activities can’t wait to write all these experiences on your CV. However, this is not always a good move.

You should always remember the following formula: Keep It Short and Simple. How do you apply this formula?

First, Scholarship Hunters must be able to sort what kind of experience can help your scholarship application.

When making a CV, we must pay attention the purpose of writing a CV the.

If you are applying for a job, the internship and organizational experience can be said to have a high weight.

However, for CVs for scholarships and other educational programs – experiences that are more focused on the experience of publications and research.

“In that case, is my organizational experience unimportant?”

Your organizational experience is still important, but there is a way to package it so that it doesn’t seem too overwhelming, let alone show off.

The trick is to list 3-5 recent organizational experiences you guys. Don’t get too much!

Sometimes to make an impressive CV Wowwe tend to “make up beautiful”.

You can make up it, but don’t put it on your CV for scholarships, Scholarship hunters! 😊😊😊

If this is the case, we still have to write down the CV as it is – without plagiarizing or using a machine translator.

Remember, our English CV will affect interviewer expectations about our English language skills.

So, if your CV doesn’t reflect your native language skills, it will become a big question later Scholarship Hunters!

7. Pay attention to the photo in the CV

Photos can be a determining factor. Therefore, use photos with our best poses. Hkeep in mind yes: don’t over actingbut don’t be stiff!

We do have to use the photos where we wear formal wear.

However, we can post casual style photos. Most importantly, make sure our appearance neat, attractive, and seem professional.
