Hoe maak je een Engels cv?

Ben je van plan om bij een internationaal bedrijf te solliciteren? Dan is het handig om je cv in het Engels mee te sturen. Een corporate recruiter kijkt gemiddeld 7,4 seconden naar een cv, dus zorg ervoor dat hij overzichtelijk is en lekker opvalt. Er zijn tal van websites die voorzien in standaard templates om een Engels cv op te maken. Vaak zijn dit wel betaalde diensten. Wil je toch zelf aan de slag, dan kun je dit voorbeeld wellicht goed gebruiken.
