Here are some tips on my Ideas on How to Become Rich blog on how to write that excellent CV/ resume that will get you that high paying job that you enjoy doing...

There are a few common ways of writing CVs/ resumes (subsequently referred to in this post as CVs instead of resumes, for terminology's sake) and a few common types of resumes. Here are some types of CVs and how they should be written in order for you to secure that high paying job.

1. Chronological CVs
2. Skills-based CVs
3. Academic CVs (not covered here in this website because it is mainly for students who wish to get a postgraduate degree and not a high paying job or an occupation)

How to write a chronological CV
1. You should try to make it clean and slick and get to the point.
2. Include a covering letter and make sure you get to the point.
3. Keep it short, simple and sweet - but by short, the content must still be there, and short does not mean a few sentences.
4. Check it many times and do not make mistakes when writing your CV.
5. Write about your education first and foremost, remembering to put down all the dates in clear chronological order. This is after you have put down your particulars at the very top.
6. Write about your work experiences next, remembering to put down all the dates in clear chronological order. This CV is known as a chronological CV, remember?
7. You then add your achievements, especially connected with your work. This will give you added value and add money to your job.
8. Give your references at the back if you feel that it is necessary.
9. Proof read and good luck to you! Sometimes you need luck to get that interview which will allow you to get that high paying job.

In summary:

3. you need to know what type of CV you are writing - is it chronological or is it skills-based? Note that you can merge the two sometimes...
4. you need to check and proof-read your CV many times

In addition, check around and look around for more advice and also get someone experienced to help you with your CV.
