How to Write a CV for a Job: Step by Step

  1. Read the job ad first. Note the skills and qualifications it asks for, and use the same words in your CV.
  2. Choose the format. Freshers put Education before Experience; experienced candidates put Experience first.
  3. Write results, not duties. “Increased monthly sales by 15%” is stronger than “Responsible for sales”.
  4. Keep it short. One page for freshers, two pages at most for experienced candidates.
  5. Save as PDF unless the employer asks for MS Word. Name the file “Your-Name-CV.pdf”.
  6. Check spelling and dates, then ask someone else to read it once.

CV Format Tips for Pakistani Employers

  • Photo: many Pakistani employers expect a recent passport-size photo with a plain background at the top right. Leave it out for multinational or overseas jobs that say not to include one.
  • Personal details: father’s name, CNIC, date of birth, religion and marital status are not needed unless the job ad or government form asks for them.
  • Government jobs: PPSC, FPSC and NTS jobs use their own online forms; your CV is for private sector and interview use.
  • Font: use Calibri, Arial or Times New Roman, size 10–12, with clear headings.
  • Email: use a professional address based on your name.

CV Mistakes That Get You Rejected

  • Spelling mistakes and mixed fonts.
  • Copy-paste objectives like “seeking a challenging position in a reputed organisation”.
  • Long paragraphs instead of bullet points.
  • Gaps in dates with no explanation.
  • Sending the same CV for every job without matching it to the ad.

CV vs Resume: What Is the Difference?

In Pakistan the two words are used for the same document. Strictly, a resume is a short 1–2 page summary for private jobs, while a CV is a longer full record used for academic, research and teaching posts. Freshers can follow our resume format for freshers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best CV format in Pakistan?

A clean reverse-chronological format: contact details, profile, education, experience, skills, certifications and references, on one or two pages.

Should I make my CV in MS Word or PDF?

Write it in MS Word and send it as a PDF so the layout does not change. Send the Word file only if the employer asks for it.

How long should a CV be?

One page for freshers and up to two pages for experienced candidates.

Do I need a cover letter with my CV?

Yes, if you apply by email or the ad asks for one. See how to write a cover letter for a job and the job application letter format.
