Contact information

Put your full name in large and bold font. Then underneath write your address, your phone number and your e-mail address. Make sure to check your e-mails regularly and respond to recruiters quickly. If you cannot respond fully, simply reply that you will get back later. There is nothing worse for a recruiter than to have no news.

Your title

Title must contain the name of your diploma, so the recruiter can identify you quickly. Later, when you have more experience, you will be able to indicate your specialty.

Diplomas

Clearly write your diploma dates in the left column. In the right column, write your diploma name in bold and the name of your school in italics, for example. Did you get distinctions? Make a note of them. If you are still in examination stages, make a note of your school term dates. Recruiters will understand that you haven not finished your diploma yet. If you have spent a year in another school, note it down. You can also indicate the TFE under your diploma, as well as an eventual Erasmus or another exchange program. You don not need to indicate the year but only the start date and end date of your diploma. If you have a Masters, you don not need to write down your diploma, unless it is different from your Masters, but indicate the start date that corresponds to the start of your Bachelor degree. It is not necessary to include any schooling below high school. Diplomas in first aid, languages etc should go to the -Other trainings- section.
