A Chance to Win Roz's New Book 'My First CV- a Step By Step Guide' to Help You and Your Students (RAFFLE)

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

It is true that most CVS are embellished. Mine is 80% fiction and changed so much I’ve forgotten what I’ve actually done and when employment wise.

Do people still put “I’m a team player and work well in groups?”

They say you’ve got 5 seconds to grab a future employees interest.

Something about all this concern with writing a cv reminds me of the book / movie, "Catch me if you can"
when i was looking for work, decades ago, i would always tweak my cv according to the job i was applying for.,
assumed anyone that really wanted the job would do the same
The book is directed at young people entering the workforce for the first time. Things are a wee bit different from when you first entered the workforce.
1930s.

I can just picture Richard tweaking his CV with a quill pen on parchment.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

And constantly mentioning Siam and his biking adventures. That’ll take up two pages.

So back on topic. I just remembered that a guy I met years ago admitted he lies on his CV and he’s an aeronautical engineer of some standing.
I think it’s self doubt that makes people do it.
